    I'll call it; for an app in this space, anything other than FOSS or perhaps a one time deal like Obsidian's model is 100% a bad idea, and self-hosting must ALWAYS be a first-class citizen. It's perhaps ironic that this reverses "you get what you pay for," but experience should teach all of us that these subscription type deals are <i>strongly</i> likely to screw you, usually through some change in the business model. (Personally, tried org-mode in the past, have also played with Obsidian, but for me http://zim-wiki.org is the perfect combo of easy and extensible).

    I have been using Notesnook[0] for over a year (mostly because its encrypted and private) and it has helped me tremendously. Obsidian is too text-editor-esque for me. I haven't tried Logseq or Dendron though. I actually like how Notesnook forces you to keep your organization at 2 levels. Restricting at first it helped me simplify my workflow a lot and finding things is a breeze since I know it can't be more than 2 levels deep. For some reason I can't wrap my head around interlinking; hierarchy based organization is good enough for me. Taking notes doesn't need anything else. Aside: the recent news about Notesnook going open source[1] has gotten me really excited. This might actually turn out to be a notes app I stick to. Let's see where the winds blow...
