Where do you save links, notes and random useful stuff?

Question

I have 2,600+ notes in Apple Notes and can barely find anything.My kid just dumps everything into Telegram saved messages. Running a small research - curious what systems people actually use (not aspire to use).Do you have a setup that works or is everything scattered across 5 apps like mine?

The core idea of Zettelkasten:1. ONE (shared) dump-pile of all new notes. Your 2,600 pile should do fine2. REGULAR 'cleaning' of the new notes: a) Each note gets one or many tags (#urban-decay #gaming #assets) b) Each note is trimmed down to its essence, ready to be used for reasonable purposes. (e.g further writing)3. 'cleaned' notes are moved to your golden store, ready to be found by searching (search "#urban-decay")You have 1. You need 2. It's slightly work-y, but interesting and ... fun. Rediscovering and polishing forgotten dust-rubies.

I'm lazy, so I use Google Keep and will probably regret it someday.
