    I use Zim - A Desktop Wiki and have been doing so for about 6 years. It uses a dialect of markdown but more importantly:

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Joplin

    Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

  • vimwiki

    Personal Wiki for Vim

    Dropbox is all I need. As for organizing notes, I write everything in markdown using vimwiki.

    For backups I use BorgBackup. One copy to the secondary HDD, one copy to phone's internal storage, one copy to a remote server.

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
