This is a well designed product. I really like it.

The last days I was working on my personal wiki/notetaking/knowledge management because it was bugging me, that everything needs a subscription and offered too much or not enough[1].

The biggest problem I have is finding/discovering my notes or snippets, especially if its scattered across services. For public notes it's easy, using `site:domain.com searchterm` in a search engine. For private notes/services it's harder.

Especially the discovery feature is quite important for me, to randomly find notes I forgot about (at the end, all notes are work in progress).

I tried to collect my thoughts about it here: https://marcus-obst.de/wiki/Notetaking

[1] It's based on Markdown Files in a Dropbox folder hooked into Pico Flatfile CMS, I pay for webhosting anyway and dropbox is still free. Else I would use Nextcloud to replace it. Sublime Text on desktop and Drafts o iA writer are doin g exactly what I need

oh wow, that's quite a setup you have. I found myself collecting a lot of private & public notes, and that makes it hard to find things quickly, I plan to work on that problem next. I'm thinking of a faster typeahead than the one the iOS app currently has plus some sort of categorization based on the note text (maybe using topic extraction).

Topic extraction is a very good idea (for public notes) using something like this: https://www.textrazor.com/ ?

(I knew I bookmarked this page, but couldn't find it and had to use google :D and 5 iterations of search terms to find it again - I need to improve that...)
