I tried to use Joplin for a while, and stopped largely due to the same reasons as you.

I switched to Obisidan, which also stores all its notes locally in Markdown, offers all the features you want and a robust plugin ecosystem, has a (beta) mobile client, and is pretty.

The one thing it doesn't have that I really want is "WYSIWYG" markdown editing, a la Typora (but it's on the roadmap!).

I’ve been using a theme in Obsidian that’s _pretty much_ WYSIWYG, but albeit not _quite_ at Typora/Notion levels. If you’re working in that paragraph it’ll show syntax but hide it once that paragraph loses focus.

To me this felt like the best of both worlds since I can actually jump into an existing piece of formatted text and easily modify it or “jump out of” formatted modes like ‘code’ which was a bit of a pain in Notion.

Oh, that's cool! What's the theme?
