I built a personal knowledge base without using Notion or Obsidian

I wanted to find the best tool to build a personal knowledge base (PKB) for my notes, recipes, code snippets, and any other information I find worthy of keeping track of. So I looked into Obsidian after trying to create it in Notion, but that didn’t pan out. The primary reason is that I wanted something easy to use, that works on any platform, lets me decide how to store my files, and gives me complete ownership.
