I use Jotterpad on Android to edit markdown and text files. It syncs well with Dropbox (it feels just like a frontend for a dropbox folder) and supports .txt, .md, .markdown, and .fountain files.

I use Brackets and Typora to edit .md files on pc/mac/linux. I find image handling in .md files fairly simple as long as you maintain an appropriate folder structure on the backend. Typora makes this especially easy.

I would like to build a better self-hosted tagging/viewing program for my huge cache of notes - something like Google Keep without being, well, Google. Turtl comes closest to my needs, but the lack of import/export at this point is a problem. I do not wish to be tied to a particular format or storage space.

Hey, Turtl creator here. Import/export is launching with v0.7.0 very soon. I've been working really hard on the upcoming release, and self hosting should be easier since we're moving to Nodejs for the server (saying goodbye to lisp).

This is excellent news for anyone nervous about vendor lock-in, which is a big problem in the notes space.

Possibly answering my own question, I just discovered tagspaces (https://www.tagspaces.org/) for tagging files across a filesystem.
