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.

I like SilverBullet a lot; it's similar in philosophy to Obsidian. The biggest issue I had using it as a daily driver is that it's a website; there's no dedicated app. I like to have Obsidian hotkeyed as a toggle on cmd-' for instant access. As a Firefox user on macOS, I couldn't figure out a way to do that with SilverBullet, even with HammerSpoon scripting.

I just found out about SilverBullet and it looks promising, but I'm also worried about the lack of a dedicated app for the same reason as you. The developer mentions installing it as a WPA in the demo video, have you tried that? Seems like it could solve the shortcut problem.
