Comet reminds me a lot of Joplin, but without the ability to have notebook hierarchies, and without a separate plain text and markdown view.

yea i’ll add in the plaintext view soon, but i truly hate notebook nesting notebooks/folders tbh, so i’ll likely never add that feature. If you notice that they’re are too many notebooks in the sidebar i recommend hiding them (since you rarely are probably using more than like 5 at a time) or collapsing the section. Also consider using tags to improve filtering notebooks. That way the sidebar and your notes can stay “flat”.
You're not wrong. My Joplin is an absolute mess.
I had a similar problem with obsidian, i kept having to refactor the folder structure and it let me do way too much nonsense imo that stopped me from just writing content/taking notes. In comet there is a tag view scoped to each notebook so you can break a notebook up by tag (without the notebook being polluted by all tags), and even further the more tags you add. You can add a tag by just putting a hashtag in the note content.
