I seriously recommend taking a look at Obsidian.
It is, in essence, just a nice editor for Markdown files, with some useful amenities, like a calendar for journal entries, that sort of thing.
I have used OneNote, Evernote, Joplin, and plain files. I like just files, but even with VS Code and Markdown, it didn't really work, because I wanted to be able to easily use it on my phone.
I decided on Obsidian because:
It's files where I choose the structure, instead of a database where the app has a hard-coded format.
Because it's just files, I am in control of syncing, instead of having weird syncing systems like OneNote and Evernote. I use SyncThing (I was already before getting Obsidian) and am loving it.
There is a desktop and mobile app.
It has many handy plugins, like Calendar.
It's simple by default, but can be pretty much as complex as you want.
Sincerely, thank you, Darryl. You may have lead me to my starting point for finally building a working notekeeping/zettel. Also, thank you (sarcastically) for sending me down a rabbithole for two hours.
I already use obsidian and it just great on desktop. Right now i use Telegram saved messages for my phone note taking, why? cuz it fast. Still need to figure out how to sync between phone and obsidian
I use Obsidian, and since it does not have a Andriod client, I build a web interface with it, and it works perfectly for me: github.com/chenyukang/obweb.
Thanks for your sharing!
I didn't notice it, but currently I'm happy with my own solution :). I prefer to use a web app which could embedded in Wechat.
That's the benefit of everything in plain text. we can build our own tools based on it.
You nailed it! We can build our own tools and have our own processes. I hope I have stated this better in the latest (third) post in the series that was published today. Thanks for the comment!

Man, you opened rabbithole for me, whole weekend I have been watching obsidian videos. And its amazing whole new world I didn't know about.

I have the official Android app. What country are you in? Maybe it's blocked there.
yes, it's blocked. BTW, if you use official app, where is the data stored？We need the official sync service?
The data is stored in your filesystem, the same as with the desktop app.
The official sync service is not required, you can use anything you want for syncing. I use SyncThing, as stated in my original comment.
Maybe I can upload an APK...
