The node_modules problem

I think I'm not the first one to talk about this problem even here in dev.to. I quick research trying to found any solution concluded with the image that is the head of this text.

Recovering Nintendo’s Lost SimCity for the NES

A lot of you are probably aware of Nintendo’s remarkable rendition of SimCity for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

I couldn't find a note-taking app that ticked all the boxes I'm interested in: notes are written and rendered in GitHub-flavored Markdown, no WYSIWYG, no proprietary formats, I can run a search & replace across all notes, notes support attachments, the app isn't bloated, the app has a pretty interface, tags are indefinitely nestable and can import Evernote notes (because that's what I was using before).
