What’s the best note-taking app currently out there? (lemmy.world)

Looking for a note-taking app, preferably that I could use straight from a browser. I’m currently using Standard Notes. Not sure if that one is any good, but E2EE and open-source which at least checks those boxes. I don’t store anything too sensitive and I don’t need a whole bunch of features, though I suppose I’d use them if they were available.

I’m honestly not too picky but maybe discussion here could help someone else out who may be looking for the same thing with higher expectations? I’ll switch over to a better option if there’s something considerably better.

Thanks in advance

If you have the time to learn emacs, its really good for note taking. I don't think any app other than Vim could compete in taking notes in my math class.

I recently started to directly use KeePassDX even for notes (since I sync it with syncthing) and I must say it's very good.

SiYuan (GPL) is probably the most advanced. You can get it off github. I haven't found anything that compares in terms of notes based features. Appflowy and Affine also are open source and have good note taking capabilities.
