I made the same conclusion and started making a tool on my own from scratch! Turned out it did take much less effort to build something you are happy with than tweaking existing tools.

PWA with Rails/React, editor is Lexical (because why markdown when you can have note looks pretty), hosted on a machine at home that I connect via tailscale.

I already added LLM integrations too.

I would think so too... and even if it doesn't fit you perfectly at least you learn a lot on the way. If you just play with plugins and tweak existing tools, I believe you won't learn anything of substance
