    The hackable notebook

  • I like SilverBullet. It lets you add tags and queries and page links and saves everything to markdown files you can easily backup.

  • telekasten.nvim

    A Neovim (lua) plugin for working with a markdown zettelkasten / wiki and mixing it with a journal, based on telescope.nvim

  • Are you familiar with the idea of Zettelkasten method? It's an old idea about how to accomplish what you're talking about, but there's a ton of software out there meant to facilitate it. The wikipedia article is worth a glance, and there are various articles about software implementations. A lot of people mention Obsidian in connection with it. I use a Neovim extension for it, telekasten.nvim because I generally live in Neovim, but there are bunch of other options.
