gollark: https://tiddlywiki.com/ is neat, https://github.com/athensresearch/athens/ could be good but is very experimental, https://obsidian.md/ is not open source but apparently runs on a directory of local markdown files so you don't have lockin issues, https://github.com/logseq/logseq apparently exists but I've never used it and it has a closed source backend, https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ is nice if you like VSCode.
gollark: There's lots of interesting ongoing development with graph-structured notes applications and such.
gollark: It has search and stuff.
gollark: I currently use DokuWiki for my notes.
gollark: The issue is that I am annoyed by basically all programming languages ever and keep wanting to rewrite it.
