Typst.

Best thing after LaTeX. LaTeX was still better than word or other alternatives for pdf generation. But for notes I just used markdown. Typst just took the best of two worlds. It's fast, accurate, intuitive, little boiler plate, and flexible.

    So for notes, do you still just use markdown or have you gone all in on typst?

    I haven't really gone full typst on notes. But honestly my notes are mostly just texts, so it doesn't really matter what I'm writing it in. I should be able to get it to typst with a few find and replace for old one. Math will be easier in typst, so I'm at least writing the new notes in typst when I need those.

    But I think for future notes I'll do typst, specially if I have to share those notes it's easier to send PDFs. Many of my colleagues get confused if I send markdown, so I had to export them to pdf for sharing anyway.
