I just use plain ol’ vim and other cli utilities, such as grep.
Honestly literally any text editor will do, if you keep your notebook structure sane. Dunno what kind of “getting in the way” obsidian does, but I use it on my phone to edit my notebook and it just works.
I have one loosely structured notebook for everything. Four main categories are Archive, Resources, Projects, Areas.
My notebook looks something like this:
Notes/
|- Archive/
|-- Templates/
|-- ...
|- Projects/
|-- Minesweeper In C/
|--- Minesweeper.md
|--- C memory stuff.md
|--- Other related stuff.md
|-- World Shell Project/
|--- World Shell.md
|--- POSIX Reference.md
|--- How to write a lexer.md
|-- ...
|- Areas/
|-- College/
|--- MySQL Module Abstract/
|---- 2024-09-15.md
|-- Creative Writing/
|--- Age of Fire.md
|--- My Digital Heartache.md
|-- Health/
|--- Leg stretches.md
|--- Stop smoking.md
|- Resources/
|-- Parsing webpages with Readability-JS.md
|-- Terminal Tools/
|--- gcc.md
|--- ffmpeg.md
In my opinion you should really stop roaming for a miraculous app that will fix all your problems, pick up a text editor you like and start writing.
