Maybe unpopular opinion here, but I just read The Three Musketeers, and it's not even close to The Count of Monte Cristo.

The characters wildly change in tone and basic morals, the heroes are dirtbags, and the plot wanders.

I still enjoyed it, but it just wasn't the same.

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. You lost today Mr. La Forge, but that doesn't mean you have to like it."

Largely agree, with a couple exceptions: Undiscovered Country and First Contact are good; Into Darkness is bad.

There's a chain near me that makes a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, white cheddar, a really excellent garlic aioli, and Ciabatta bread.

I go there way too much.

This might be my biggest TNG complaint. The character and the actor are good (or at least decent if we're being picky), but almost every time the focus is on her, the writing is absolutely awful.

Fringe is great. Season 1 is a bit "Monster of the week" but when it gets going it's a great ride.

If you haven't seen it, Ex Machina (2014) fits the vibe of your list. It's one of my favorites.

The Punt for Red October

Logseq has an Android app and clients for the usual desktop platforms. It stores as .md files. It meets your requirements. I'm not sure why you're focused on Firefox support?

One I have my eye on is Silverbullet.md. the creator recently promoted it here and it has some nice ideas. It's a web app that you self host. Behind the scenes everything is stored in .md files.

Thanks for your answers! Very fair thoughts, particularly about the flexibility of keeping things as just files on disk.

Regarding the work thing, I should clarify my use case: I'd like to take work related notes that could contain privileged company data. With a standalone app, I can install it and manage the files on my device (with cloud syncing in an approved corporate way). I could still probably do that here, but it requires the work of running the web server locally. Unfortunately, an external source like a VPS wouldn't be allowed.

I have one more question, if you have some time: One of the things I like most about Logseq is that when there is a list of back links on a page, the context capture is excellent (likely due to it being an outliner). I've noticed that with SilverBullet, the context capture might begin/end in the middle of a word, etc. Is there a way to configure that or plans to enhance it?

This is very cool, and I've been watching the project for a month or so.

I like the query setup and the templates look very interesting. One of my biggest complaints about Logseq is how much of a pain simple query operations can be.

A few things make me hesitate a bit:

• I've been burned on single-dev passion projects in the past.
• As a self hosted web app, it's a bit more difficult to manage on a company owned machine. I know Electron apps get hate, but that would ease some pain here.
• The rapid pace of development is both exciting and worrisome. For example, a recent update completely changed the underlying templating engine from a well-known open source solution to a custom solution. I worry if I rely on this, something might catch me by surprise.

What are your thoughts on those concerns, OP?

So this whole post is an advertisement, then.
