Good question, Alex. I don’t have a single solution for notes, being a restless CRIMPer, but some important ones to answer your question:
Use case / Solution
Book notes / Kindle
Articles / Save a PDF then use either MarginNote, or LiquidText, or Highlights
Restaurants / DayOne
Travel Plans / Usually a folder in a DEVONthink database where I collect all relevant documents for the trip
People / DayOne
Ideas / DayOne for longer notes; OmniFocus for quick capture (e.g., “things to see or do”)
Recipes / I do all the cooking here and gave up writing down recipes because new ideas are just a Google search away.
Projects / Usually a combo of DEVONthink (for client documents and my work products), Curio (best graphical thinking tool around), and Tinderbox (for all its power working with text)

Thank you for the feedback, Paul!
Maybe not having a single solution for notes, or even a main solution is the way to go. I find it interesting that you use Day One for a lot more than journaling, and maybe use it more like a replacement for Evernote, Bear, or OneNote. I am curious: what made you go with Day One instead of Evernote or Bear, which I imagine to be more natural choices for general purpose note taking?
And +1 on your comment about recipes being so easy to find online. I’ll keep that in mind, as not taking notes when it isn’t necessary is great way to keep one’s system more manageable!

I use the others, but most frequently Day One because it has a pleasantly designed and simple look, has good services for capturing text or images from other applications, and a nice quick-entry mode on macOS and iOS.

checkvist has image attachments and inline thumbnails. It also has many similarities to workflowy, but also much more, and is very keyboardable. It is $39/year for Pro (which is required for attachments). https://checkvist.com/auth/help to see all its features.
As noted, dynalist has images.
notion.so has images and much more.

I know we have other Notecase users here. It does a great job with images. A very flexible two pane outliner with scripts, in active development, and available in Windows, Linux, and the Mac. Also on Android, although I didn’t much care for that (haven’t looked at it in a while). I drifted away from it when I got an iPad, and can’t use it on Chrome, so have drifted over to Dynalist, which I use constantly. Well worth the $96.
