I've used Obsidian for a couple years. It's a very good note-taking app. Vault (a paid add-on) makes syncing across devices effortless, but other cloud solutions also work. Composing in markdown's fast: your hands never leave the keyboard. It stores notes in markdown, so there's no lock-in: you can open them in a text editor. Once a note is synced to your device, you can reliably get to it even when you're offline. Quirks are in tables (a bit clunky) and the outline (hard to find on phones).

One of the recent updates has broken the link feature in my long notes. Sometimes it works to jump down to the end, but frequently it's putting me in a random place in the center of the note which means I get to scroll all the way to the bottom. I generally like this app, but this issue is going to make me seek out another notes app if it isn't resolved.

Update: I appreciate the dev getting back to me that the mixed up tabs preview issue has been fixed. _ Overall it's a fairly solid note taking app, I have yet to find something I like to replace it. Not perfect for my use, but will do. My only gripes are, I don't love the pricing for obsidian sync, I can't completely fault them, I'm merely looking at it from a storage pricing perspective. And for the cloud storage that I happen to have and trust, it seems difficult to set up any automatic sync.
