can i ask did you give Obsidian a try? I am curious what are the options notesnook is providing that makes people wanna pay for it compared to free-ish options such as Obsidian/logSeq. Is it the syncing part?

yeah sync- I like to be able to jot down a note on my phone while out walking. But might follow up on my computer later. For SimpleNote and NotesNook you don't have to think about sync and its free. I would only consider paid Obsidian for the sync. I tried Obsidian early on (years ago) and though it was awful and too bloated for my needs. It looks better now, but mostly I just need low friction to writing things down.

I have not tried Obsidian yet.

I don't remember why I paid for it, maybe syncing wasn't in the free tier before? I don't know, but I got the yearly sub.
