LogSeq for taking notes.
It is a markdown editor and has a lot of features i didn't know I wanted. Like you can mark in PDFs and those marks will be made into notes with shortcuts to that place right into your other notes.
Gonna have to check this out. I'm a sucker for good note taking apps and my current one is Notion - except it's not free and that annoys me.
Check this out...

Man.. what a deep dive that I did not need. Whew.
Gonna try out a few of these, but I have to admit I prefer the rich-text and database options that Notion provides. That said, the whole privacy thing they do and was mentioned in the start of the video concerns me. Time to do some testing! Thanks for the link!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I use a lot of note apps partially for school partially for fun but man Logseq PDF annotation is incredible. That plus native Zotero integration is a game changer for anything academic.
