Obsidian
The tool I use to run this blog and these notes. I was using Tiddlywiki, but found the html file limiting. Org-roam in Emacs was too local and didn’t have a mobile element. Obsidian strike the right balance between being easy to pick up and complex when it scales. It has a pretty good mobile app and stores everything as Plain-Text markdown files.
I sync between mobile and computer using Syncthing.
