    notational-fzf-vim is similar to shell-velocity and also looks pretty good, but is now unmaintained and I do not have the knowledge to maintain it myself should something break. Has the same lack of automatic git syncing.

    For (neo)vim users, there's notational fzf [1], which also requires fzf to be installed [2]. For Emacs, there's Deft [3]. They all what to me are nvalt's core functionality which is fuzzy search into quick note creation/editing. They can also be used in conjunction with nvalt or other markdown based applications since all of them use plaintext. For Deft, you can also choose to create .org files.

    nb is very good and I've used it extensively for the last 2 years or so. I especially like that you can just throw it a url and it will create a bookmark as well as download a markdown version of the page (using pandoc to convert I think?) This is very useful, especially when links go stale

    Also, if you install notational-fzf-vim (https://github.com/Alok/notational-fzf-vim) and point it at the nb folder, searching through notes becomes a breeze. Additionally, you can use vim-markdown-composer (https://github.com/euclio/vim-markdown-composer) as a previewer for markdown in vim.

  • After Obsidian and Logseq, I give Dendron a try

    I use Notable on Linux and Noteless on Android, with Foldersync for automatically syncing. I tried Obsidian, and prefer Noteless' interface, where I can see all notes just reverse sorted by modification time. Both have a tag view.

    In addition, there's the excellent vim plugin https://github.com/Alok/notational-fzf-vim that allows fuzzy search of notes in vim.

    I use nb https://github.com/xwmx/nb for both bookmarks and notetaking. nb downloads a shallow copy of the link and stores it along with the bookmark.

    All notes (and consequently bookmarks and their contents) are stored as plain-text markdown files - so there's no dependency on a proprietary format, and all the content becomes searchable.

    If you're a vim-user, you can also get the notational-fzf-vim plugin (https://github.com/alok/notational-fzf-vim) and point it to the notes/bookmarks folder, and have full fuzzy search over all the content.
