I think it’s a common shared problem and everyone is looking for the no-compromises solution.
For me…
- One trusted place for all the notes (something that the stuff everywhere model lacks… things get lost or end up being hard to find)
- Portable, avoiding lock-in. The assumption is the usefulness of the notes will outlive any closed platform.
- Multiplatform, with sync. To make it easy to have that one trusted place, and it always be accessible.
- Modern features… can’t sketch too well in markdown and embedding stuff is tedious and doesn’t seem like it will scale well over time without tooling. But tooling brings back the lock-in issue.
And probably some other stuff. The perfect system doesn’t really exist. Compromises need to be made. Each person makes different concessions, while many of us jump from tool to tool, system to system, hoping to have it all, but ultimately living with constant pain and disappointment.
I’ve given up. I’m use Obsidian and work and the Apple stuff at home. If/when I need to migrate off Apple, I’ll deal with it then. Switching every few months sucks.
