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.
