I have used deft on Emacs for years. It saves notes locally as text files (I use Markdown). I keep my notebook directory as a git repository, so that I can use my notes on any of my machines. Search and filtering is whole-text--no need to set tags. Not a problem until you have years of notes on a modest machine ;) That's as simple as it gets, and yet it has served me very well over the years. QOwnNotes is a non-Emacs solution that works in a very similar way, except that it does expect Markdown files and gives you HTML previews; in fact it can use my Deft directories unchanged.

I really like the idea that taking notes in markdown format and putting them into the github. In this way we can be independent from the device. But on the other hand it might be overkill for taking little notes. For example I took wsl2 installation steps for the team members I work with. It's just 10 lines of text. I need to commit and push my notes into my repository. On the other hand, I can make my notes public and everybody can visit them. It's surely is a plus. It was a great advice, thanks for sharing. I will try it out to see if it will be working for me
