E2E encryption while having a useful search engine seems pretty hard to do from what I'm understanding.

I switched from Notion to my own electron-based markdown editor just for the peace of mind of not having my notes stored in clear on someone else's server.

The harder part is probably from a UX sense, how do you make sure people understand that the key is important, and how do you or not store it on their computer.
