I tried using Notion for Zetteling, but the performance friction was too high. Want to open several notes in multiple windows? Hope you're ready to wait several seconds for each one to open. Currently using Bear, which is working well for now.

I also like being able to write little scripts to process the notes—e.g. to add backlinks, archive external URLs referenced, etc. Notion has no API. :(

In Bear? How? I’ve build my own Second Brain Wiki in Bear but all backlinks are manual :/

I think it's important to set forward links manually. I'm less sure about back links. I find myself manually setting back links in many cases, often in some appropriate inline spot. Right now I present auto-backlinks in a secondary fashion, demarking their limited status.
