I don't mind using a closed source solution - but only if I can keep my notes separated from the application itself. Makes it easy for me to back up my notes and to use versioning tools like git. It also allows me to use bash to manipulate my notes independently of the application at any given time.

Plume seems very pretty - good job on that, but....

"All notes in Plume are simple plaintext strings under the hood. Right now, all these plaintext strings are stored in a SQLite database locally on your computer. But we have plans to remove the reliance on a custom database and to store all notes as simple .txt files inside a folder."

I've been burned too many times by organizational tools that like to keep your notes internally stored within their systems.

Gotcha, no worries, I'm 100% going to migrate the database to a simple arbitrary folder with .md/.txt files. I also want that for myself. It will take a few months of work after the initial release, tho.

A SQLite database is not really proprietary though. It's easy to work with. And perhaps there is an export function too in case you want to move.
