I currently use zim-wiki for structured notes. It's also plain text/folder based. It doesn't use markdown though.

I'm glad to see this is offline local first. I like that it can be made portable too. It seems more complicated than zim-wiki (but that might just be my knowledge of zim).

I'll be taking a look. Hopefully when the pro version comes they don't restrict useful functionality.

Another Zim-Wiki user here -- been using it for something over 5 years, now, and have yet to find anything that could replace it for me. That it doesn't use (the bloody horrible) Markdown is a feature, not a deficiency.

I'm torn because zims markup is straight forward and simple but I use pandoc for conversion to other formats and pandocs markdown is pretty powerful

I used Zim for over a decade but recently migrated to Obsidian because of the mobile support. Definitely a big change but I can say that after a year it has worked for me and I don't miss Zim as much as thought would.
