Web Clipper

Great topic, but I think what counts as "best" depends on your needs. I use a number of different options depending on what I'm doing.
PDF replica of page: FireShot (a Chrome extension). I save to D...
I think Logseq should fit the bill. You have two options:
1. Web app with data stored in Github (you can use a private repository).
2. Desktop app with data stored in a cloud service (like Dropbox). ...
Have you looked at Logseq? It has almost all the same features of Roam and has the two things you like: free and human readable (markdown) files. I wrote a guide for Roam users here:

OPML Import now supported in Logseq
6/16/2021
The release notes for the latest version of Logseq announce that they now support OPML import (export was already supported). I'm sure Dave Winer will be pleased. Personally it should help me migrate ...

Thanks Lucas!
Someone else suggested a different way of handling file names as well. Quoting from the Logseq forums:
The only difference in how I do it is that I have my date format in both apps set...
Logseq + Org mode
6/15/2021
I don't use org mode, but I remember it being very popular among some forum members. Now that I'm a regular Logseq user I've noticed that there is a contingent of org mode users who are also using Log...
Logseq + Obsidian

I was mostly excited that Logseq would allow me to work with Obsidian to have my notes on my phone, but I actually think Logseq is better than Roam in many ways. For instance:
1. in Roam I had to lea...
Great work!

Not clear what that means though. Typora is not an outliner, and does not have the kind of experience Roam Research or Dynalist or Workflowy have - which is essential for my personal work habits. Logs...

A recent update to Logseq seems to fix a big problem with the built-in Roam import. Now it uses "-" instead of "#" for bullet items.

I am so pleased with how things are working that I decided to import my Roam Research database over. Here is how I did it:
1. Export to markdown and delete all files that are zero or 3 bytes. (Roam g...

My own thoughts about why this is so amazing:
1. All files are stored in plain text markdown files on your local computer, not in a database.
2. No "loading" screen when you start - works instantly....

This has been discussed elsewhere, but I felt it deserved its own thread.
Logseq is a Roam clone that stores its data as plain text files which are mostly markdown as well as some extra parameters, ...
Mac software recommendations

I also use Ulysses and highly recommend it. I prefer it to Scrivener personally, but some people are the other way around...

Mac software recommendations
6/6/2021
It is only possible to recommend apps based on an individuals needs and preferences. However, I recently moved from Evernote to DevonThink and while the process of migrating my notes was very painful ...
So I gave this ago, and it seems promising, but so far I find Logseq too buggy, and the Roam import unsatisfactory. But this does seem like an ideal compromise between Roam and Obsidian, so I hope it ...
Roam v. Obsidian
5/25/2021
I can't argue with that. I signed up early on and they allow early adopters to use their existing databases for free, although I can't create new databases. I'm not sure I would be using it if I had t...
Roam v. Obsidian
5/24/2021
It is certainly possible in Roam to store all your files locally, which is as secure as your laptop is, but then there is no way to sync between devices. Obsidian offers a paid secure sync service, or...
How does one get access to the desktop app?
Thanks for this update! Good to know...
The outlining newcomers
5/14/2021
There is a necessary tension between experimentation and compatibility. If we had to agree to standards before creating each new app there would be no room for experimentation, but endless experimenta...

Task Management in Knowledge Outliners
5/12/2021
I had a further thought about why this has become such an essential part of how I work: for much of my work there is now no separation between task management and doing the task. For insistence, if I ...

Maybe FSNotes would work?
