Notes taking app (waste-of.space)

I'm looking for a good notes taking app to replace The Bad Ones like Evernote.

I want to have the content available over multiple devices (iOS app if possible) and preferably also a web editor.

Any ideas?

What's wrong with notion?

My biggest reason for moving off Notion (and to Obsidian) was lack of offline availability. This has left me in a bind multiple times.

Actually you are right, this is really annoying. Its also quite a "heavy" app, takes quite a while to start up, and I have to re-login constantly.

Basically this https://www.notion.so/product/ai. AI hype train, won’t be long til this is default (if it isn’t already) and they steal all your notes/writing to feed LLMs and monetize your work without you knowing.

Weirdly, I'm more or less okay with this. Hope someone gets my ballin' Teriyaki sauce recipe

Kidding aside usually this type of thing bothers me, for example I'm actively trying to find alternatives to Google services. But I feel like I'm not giving up that much information here.

I just want a notes app that is intuitive and pleasant to use, and I really like notion's UI

You do you then! I tried notion but switched to obsidian because I found Notions web UI awfully slow given I just wanted to muck around with plaintext and markdown files. It wasn’t a bad product though. They’re popular for some good reasons too.
