Out of curiosity have you ever looked into Obsidian? Not that I think it's a replacement or superior but I feel that it's in the same space.

I have used it and if you take time to customize it, it surpasses all the other options simply because you can do whatever you please with your data.

Sometimes I edit my markdown files in other editors like Bear (or web interfaces). Sometimes I draw handwritten notes on my ipad and insert them as images.

It all works pretty well.

Not GP commenter, but I've used Apple Notes, emacs org-mode, Evernote, Notion, Coda, Obsidian, and Google Docs. I prefer Apple Notes for personal notes, and Google Docs for shared notes, and Notion for ones that I publish as web pages.

Is there a strategy in apple notes to better organize/reference other notes? I'm pretty new to the Apple ecosystem and don't really grok it.

Agreed on Google Docs (at least for design documents).

Tbh I reference other notes by manually writing their name. I don’t do it much, if I was going to do a lot of that I’d use obsidian.
