I wholeheartedly agree with this post. I also keep my notes in Markdown, I also have plenty of Python scripting around them, including automatic publishing of my website.
I use FSNotes today on macOS and iOS. Both apps are open source, both use well-structured .textbundle directories that separate Markdown content from JSON metadata and binary attachments. Synchronization happens through Git. It's a very powerful combination.
Ironically, I wrote a blog post some 8 years ago about this very subject. That blog post is now offline.
I appreciate the mention of FSNotes (and in turn textbundle). Somehow, despite trying tons of note taking apps and formats, I don't remember ever coming across mention of this format specifically.
My biggest beef with org mode and all of the markdown apps I've tried is the asset management problem. For me screenshots are almost as important as the text part of the note, and are usually strongly tied to a single note. I've taken to using apple notes at work just because it "solves" that well enough, but I'd really prefer to work in markdown/plain text (except for the images).
