I'm really surprised I don't see more tech-savvy people talking about SilverBullet (https://silverbullet.md). It's not perfect, but very "hackable" and being actively developed. It's the best self-hostable note taking app I've found so far.

If SilverBullet were into acquiring more users (they may not be), they could use some major help with their site design.

When I visit the SilverBullet link, I get a wall of text. And at the very top is a warning about versions and a link to migrating your data between versions, which leads to another extensive wall of text with various code and configuration examples.

Many people, even busy tech savvy people, are going to shy away from this.

To be honest, it looks kind of interesting to my inner nerd, but I think I'll stick with my "directory of plaintext Markdown files" that I've moved between apps as they've come and gone.
