IMO having your notes locally (instead of using a any `webapp` or `local-first webapp`) + confortable editor (as example, `vscode`) + search tool with a decent speed (as example, like `ripgrep`) is unbeatable.

if you require to sync and save your notes, create a private repo and create a shortcut to do a commit with blank message (`git commit --allow-empty-message -m ''`) + pushing to remote repo at your demand whenever you need it (could be useful to put it in a cronjob)

you won't create an interesting history on your repo but ultimately, regardless of third-party feedback, it must be useful to you.

PD: execute chatGPT-like searches on your own local personal documentation (knowledge base) which automatically scrape content from any link you saved and retrain the model at your demand without the need to pay a monthly subscription would be amazing.
