Here are a few Visual Studio Code extensions that greatly improved my Markdown and note-taking experience: It will be really easy to convert to this 'something else' (after all, it's just text).

If Markdown should fall from grace someday and be replaced by something else, I'm pretty sure.

It's just text files (plus a few images).

Should I happen to not like VS Code or GitHub anymore, I can take my notes and go somewhere else.

There's no vendor or data-format lock-in.

On a machine where I don't have my notes repository cloned, I can still use GitHub in the browser.

I can read (even edit) my notes on my mobile using the GitHub app.

VS Code is available on all the operating systems I use (even on my Raspberry Pis).

I had a quick look at EverNote as the obvious alternative but it has the same problem of the missing I know this seems like complainingĪbout first world problems but to me this was a deal breaker so I went looking for alternatives. It alwaysįelt slow and took me too long in order to jot down a few notes. The browser version is what it comes to and I honestly never really liked that. Wrong with it - as long as you are using Windows, a Mac, or mobile devices. But honestly, OneNote is a great tool and there's nothing
