I believe the main reason for the obsession is that we intuitively know that it can be done "right" (according to our own personal preferences) - but that a solution is not yet at hand. So we install every possible attempt we come across, only to find that no - not yet. Here is some of what I am personally looking for: - a wysiwyg rich text interface, with embedding capabilities, with an optional markdown interface and (closest) representation - integrated web clipper a la Evernote - multidimensional categorization (i.e. not a single hierarchy of notebooks) that links to universal categories - AI-supported automatic summaries and categorization - Optionally encrypted when stored centrally, with finegrained visibility options. - Optionally savable locally only, encrypted or not-encrypted - Datahandling and coding capabilities, a la ObservableHQ/Jupyter/Datasette - Linkable in various ways to other notes, my own or others - and more!
