I use zim for little chunks of information, so gnote or tomboy could be almost sufficient for me. However, they both have some issues with the global shortcuts or UI: in gnote you cannot quickly view all matches of a search string (like in Zim with the instasearch plugin). Ok, the ideal for me would be a search list with matches highlighted, like in Google Keep.
Yep, there are some alternatives: some of them use markdown: like *QOwnNotes* (the interface could be cleaned, but it is a wiki with linking function). There is *boostnote*, which seems to be an electron app, also uses markdown, has interlinks. And if you like markdown and wysiwyg (I like in Zim, that there is just one mode), than *typora.io <http://typora.io>* might be interesting (no linking feature). There is *Elephant notes <http://elephant.mine.nu/>*, which cannot create link between notes, but can create markdown and html notes, saved searches There is also *nixnote2*, which is an evernote client for linux. What is frustrating for me, that I have not found a solution, which works on PC and android for me. I seek for something more lightweighter, than Zim. I mean, the UI is fine, features is fine, I just rather want to have some pieces of notes grouped to folders-tags, but sometimes I feel in Zim, that having a separate page for a 2-3 lines recipe is overkill (well, I cannot explain it, it is not a technical, more a mental issue for me. I have to give it a title ..., as opposed to something in google notebooks). I also fear of data loss, so I don't store info in *Google Keep* (notes has no history). *Simplenote* has full note history but no wiki functionality (well, others mentioned nvpy, where you can link nodes to each others). *Dynalist* (~workflowy++) is a fine hierarchical note taking app, but you have to pay for backups (but also has markdown support). And what is very promising (but not desktop solution) is *cotoa.me <http://cotoa.me>* (https://github.com/cotoami/cotoami), where you can actually write pieces of informations and after that you can cluster them. And another site that discusses how to take notes: https://zettelkasten.de/ So I confess I tried way too many solutions but cannot settle on one and use it for everything (which I think now would be ideal).
