Everyone here are so cool with fancy open source alterantives. I've been basic and been using Notion for all my med school notes and beyond and while it's been mostly great the few episodes of outages have been so frustrating. Wish there were some easy to use solutions with all the text formatting options Notion has.
Obsidian
As much as I love obsidian, I've been moving on to Emacs org-mode! I like that Obsidian notes are just text files but with org-mode I get that and it's Emacs which is open-source, thirty years old and literally never going to die. I can export org-mode files to PDFs or even turn them into HTML pages.
I made the mistake of having bunch of columns, annotated images with captions, and tables everywhere that obsidian's addons couldn't really replicate the experience. For prep work around writing research papers, it's probably easier to use than notion for sure.
