My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

Why I Like Obsidian
The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.
But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.
Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...
As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

IAC sold 17 apps to Bending Spoons. $100M deal, all 330 employees fired
Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Ask HN: What do you use for note-taking or as knowledge base?
Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/
It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.
Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.

Ask HN: How do you store your knowledge?
It's not perfect, but I use https://simplenote.com/
Someday I will build my own clone of Simplenote/Notational Velocity/Taskpaper/Drafts/Bkmks.com...
1. From mobile browser, share to Simplenote adds a new note with title + url.
2. Not often.
3. Not often.
4. Also Simplenote. Also used Notational Velocity: one note per JIRA ticket.
5. I wish Simplenote's tagging system were better (more like TaskPaper)
- I wish it were simple to add (markdown) images like Github.
- Also Simplenote added some features that get in the way (I just want to type `[`, but Simple note opens this inter-note linking interface)
- Notational Velocity supported rich text, but I just wanted everything in plaintext, especially when pasting information into a note.

NvAlt: MultiMarkdown Notational Velocity fork with Markdown editing and preview
Note nvUltra, the successor to this program, has been in development/private beta for several years[1,2].
I've been meaning to make my own web-based version of Notational Velocity that adds a few novel features of my own. (Plus inspiration from apps like TaskPaper and Drafts)
There are a lot of Notational Velocity clones; currently my favorite is: https://simplenote.com/

Ask HN: Apple Notes has jumped the shark, what should I replace it with?
I'm still happy with Apple Notes for its integration with all of Apple Apps, easy sharing with family members, etc. I have tamed it more as an ephemeral and quick Notes App. The notes that starts there are usually transferred to a more permanent and organized Plain-Text setup[1] (currently guardian-ed by Obsidian).
If I had to replace Apple Notes, I'd look at either one of these;

Best free cross-platform note taking app?
In the past I used the beautiful Zoho Notes. It's good but I experienced sync issues sometimes. OneNote is good but I hate the UI. StandardNotes is nice, but very expensive once you want the paid features. SimpleNote OK too, but too basic imo.
-
Best Writing Apps?
I've used Simplenote for years. Clutter free, distraction free, and actually free - it works in a browser and my phone so I can write on any device, anywhere, online or when I'm intentionally disconnected.
- A free, modern "revamp" of microsoft word.
