Now there are three "newish" Markdown / PWA / Note apps that I am aware of:

- Silverbullet.md (https://silverbullet.md)

- Eidos (https://eidos.space/)

- and this ofc (https://edna.arslexis.io/)

Is someone aware of more of these?

I am liking all of them and they seem to have different perspectives, goals and philosophies.

Sadly none of them have a quick capture experience on android that I am satisfied with...

I created https://floatynotes.app a while ago, which might fit your list :). It provides virtual sticky notes, using the new Document Picture-in-Picture API.

Silverbullet.md looks really good to me. With a few more features it might be able to replace vscode as my note taking app.

To me this looks more like Unforget which was shared here a few weeks ago https://unforget.computing-den.com/demo

Octarine (https://octarine.app)

Desktop only (Mac currently) though, with windows on the way. Most likely will never have a web version.

What is the tech stack? If Windows support is possible, how about Linux?

Rust with Tauri for the BE and bundling. React with Typescript for the FE.

Windows/Linux both are on the way. Have builds ready for both, but need to polish some things, and make the pipeline a bit more streamlined.

> quick capture experience

How would that experience look like? (I think I'm after the same thing!)

I'm working on quick capture! Just a prototype so far for saving text snippets: https://wonger.dev/posts/in-the-works#gimme-that

Ideally, note capture is as easy as screenshots. It means removing nonessential menus, decisionmaking, buttons, etc. For example, having the app start with an editor and keyboard open, versus having the app start with a list of existing notes. It may mean gesture shortcuts.

For a published app with adjacent ideas, check out Bebop for iOS: https://www.jackcheng.com/bebop-design-dev-process/
