I have a Notes folder containing 'subject' text files. Notes/crypto.txt Notes/docker.txt Notes/equity.txt ... anything and everything one day I'll divide them into subfolders Notes/geopolitics/zeihan.txt Notes/programming/languages/rust.txt

if a text file isn't good enough, or there needs to be an image embedded, I use other file types

And a Documents folder containing 'subject' article files. Documents/Programming/Languages/Rust ...

I do the exact same thing. Its been very effective. Looking at something I wrote myself refreshes my memory a lot more than any other kind of resource.

I personally use markdown files in the event I want to publish one of my notes. It also let's me inline images and see them if my editor supports previewing.

I’ve been meaning to try bear.app for this reason. Have never got past notes.app though.
