obsidian is a nice one, simple, focused...

- it saves in md files, and could sync to repo or other ways.

- good number of nice plugins

- the md file makes things easier, e.g. could write terminal cli with bash script to add/edit notes in terminal ...

I like Obsidian a lot, but recently switched to Org Mode since it is a more robust markup language. It has a steep learning curve though.

True but i havent found a way to do the publishing part nicely yet

Publish it how? It's mostly markdown, you should be able to use something like Pandoc to convert it to anything else.

Edit : even simpler, you could just put them on dropbox in a shared folder. It's markdown so it's human readable as pure text apart from the images (and you said you don't care about graphs)

I liked the idea that other users can edit it or that the markdown is rendered within the browser. CodiMD and Hedgedoc support that. They even support Co-Editing notes which is over the top for my needs. I just like the idea that i can rightclick a note in my notebook and publish it. They lack privacy and protection features though like password input or generating a new URL or proper user accounts. It would be nice if i could just send a special link and for the duration of X or until i revoke it friends can look at the rendered markdown with their browser. See https://demo.hedgedoc.org/features?both

Also Data Control is something i desire so i prefer self hosted.
