I use https://simplenote.com
- Syncs across multiple platforms.
- Plaintext based (with MD support).
- Search + edit UI similar to https://notational.net and https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt
- Simple to publish/share notes
- Free (as in beer and speech)

If I used MacOS or there were web versions, I would love to use the following (they are all better at plaintext than SimpleNote):
- https://getdrafts.com (best text manipulation + actions)
- https://www.taskpaper.com (best tagging/querying system!)
- https://www.hogbaysoftware.com/bike (supposedly best plaintext editing experience)

Some day I will build my own plaintext notes/bookmarks/tasks app that is a mashup of:
- TaskPaper
- Drafts
- nvAlt
- SimpleNote
