I know there are lots of other note-taking apps out there but let me tell you why I shunned them all. I found my notes would easily fit into iCloud’s free tier for years to come. Bear’s free tier wouldn’t do it for me since I want cross-device sync.

Portability - The entire setup below avoids platform lock-in as much as possible.

I borrowed it from my previous post Image management without databases. Here are a few principles I leaned on while searching for my ideal setup. I’ve finally arrived there and would like to share it. It’s been important to me for a while to find a note-taking setup that I’m happy with. Note-taking is really critical to how I work.
