I really cannot do note-taking apps that aren't true WYSIWYG
What I specifically mean is, Obsidian has a live preview option that allows me to see everything else rendered other than the line I am editing. And that bothers me. Seeing markdown makes me feel like I am writing a paper in LaTeX and I do not necessarily enjoy that.
And note-taking needs to be an enjoyable process for me. It also needs to not have wild context shifts, messy layouts, having all metadata stored and cluttering the text.
I can't even have a differently colored highlight without it showing up in text. And that is just not gonna work.
