Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter

Guess I'll toot my horn slightly: I made a Zettlekasten-ish tool for the CLI a few years ago and have used it for my work notes (including daily TODO), project logs, and personal diary stuff ever since. At this point I've got a hierarchy of 114 notes, with some notes linked into multiple locations in the tree. The hardest part is trying to decide if you want a new note for a topic, or if it should fit into an existing one.
Maybe somebody might find it useful:

Everything is just files in a directory, so I use Syncthing to have access to it everywhere.
It's also got a thing that lets you associate files with a given note, but the tooling around that isn't very good yet. I've been slowly working on a client for the Acme text editor, and I've also wanted to make a proper Go GUI client.
(man I need to re-do the CLI with some library that does built-in help, because some commands like `zk orphans` [which finds notes that have no parents] aren't documented anywhere)
I Still Use Plain Text for Everything.

Wrote my own vaguely Zettelkasten-inspired system because I wanted something that works at the command line and followed my own idiosyncratic (or idiotic) preferences. The data lives in my keybase KBFS mount and I symlink it into my home directory.
You build up a hierarchy of notes, but you can also cross-link so a note appears in multiple places. You can also drop arbitrary files alongside any given note. I expand it occasionally as I need new features; most recently I added regular expression searching and a command to locate "orphaned" notes. It's at https://github.com/floren/zk which contains the Go library to interact with the files on disk, and a command-line tool which wraps the library.
