I still use Google Docs but I take notes in Markdown in VS Code. The advantage of Markdown is I can create lists of lists of lists that VS code will indent correctly. (emacs does that too but that’s another story). Checkboxes in list items is another nice touch.

But what have been most compelling of Markdown is that I can create flow diagrams with Mermaid syntax and type math like LaTeX. Not to mention insert code snippets. It all works.

And Markdown is portable too. Couple it with rclone for replication to the cloud and I’m golden.
