Why do people feel the need to comb through dozens of bloated, potentially spyware ridden, productivity apps when the default Apple ones do the job just fine if not better?
>>109027575(OP) Looking through productivity tools and coming up with an increasingly convoluted "workflow," is a way of tricking yourself into thinking you're being productive instead of actually something productive. It's a form of procrastination that minimizes guilt.

>>109027721 It's procrastination, as well as "buying a personality trait" because they were psy-opped by marketing.

>>109027575(OP) apple notes is total garbage, and hilariously unoptimized vs codium on desktop obsidian for text, noteful for handwriting on iShit
>>109027575(OP) I just want my own personal wikipedia, but offline. That’s it. You can link between documents. You can alias/redirect links. You can add images. You can add equations. You can add plots. You can add sortable nested lists. You can add tables that is sortable and can hold long lines (wrapped), not just shitty small spreadsheet-wannabe.
Surprisingly impossible to make. And even more difficult now, since everyone suddenly insists on making everything as markdown.
Org-mode is the closest btw.

I've finally settled on qownnotes for most of my notes. It just produces a file-system set of markdown but can be viewed rendered. It's pretty good. Cherrytree is better for smaller notes since the organisational structure is good, but when the database gets too big it becomes unweildy.

>>109031368 Idk I just use onenote. For years already. I find it pretty comfy and it just werks everywhere.
I use an advanced memorization framework that I call Cognitive Triage: delegating the note-taking and reminder process to my brain, allowing it to automatically discard low-value data, surface what truly matters, and free up mental bandwidth for high-impact thinking.

>>109031363 I tried it. Because of that By Default video shared around here. Honestly it’s very similar to those 2 panes live preview markdown editors. Like ghostwriter. Or old obsidian. Probably many others. I personally found it clunky and kind buggy. Especially dealing with my desktop environment font, dpi, etc. settings. Perhaps it’s better now. Perhaps larger monitor and more modern pc would make the experience better.
I think you can also add live markdown->html compilation/browser preview with vim, emacs, etc. That’s probably better for some people.

>>109030914 >And even more difficult now, since everyone suddenly insists on making everything as markdown. Markdown is close to MediaWiki, literally.
Bar [[Internal Links]] which depending on the application may/may not be supported (Obsidian supports it, for example) you literally are writing "MediaWiki"/Wikipedia-a-like in Markdown.
You should be asking for a cross-platform that isn't Electron.
Obsidian would be my default pick despite it being proprietary IF it wasn't Electron on Desktops.
