Not exactly self-hosted but, I like UpNote a lot.
It's reasonably simple but, powerful enough for me, and it's fast & intuitive

same.
Zim.
Trilium. Tried a bunch but fell in love with this one. Others either didn't have support for inline math or weren't wysiwyg (Joplin). Also easy syncing between computers with its own server in docker, and it even doubles as a web version of the app.
I personally like Nextcloud notes for quick notes and nextcloud collectives for detailed stuff e.g revision. With nextcloud tables and deck it makes a great notion replacement
on a desktop or laptop I use Emacs org-mode. on my phone I have tried so many options and the best thing that I found for me is Delta chat. I just use the saved notes which is basically an email to myself.
I use Joplin mainly, but I've been trying QOwnNotes and Logseq out lately. All of them are pretty good imo
Notable. Cross platform (no mobile app), sync with cloud drive of your choice, markdown support, easy interface.
vimwiki
combined with some bash aliases, neovim config tweaks, and some bash scripts I've cobbled together over time. Then syncthing to share it across my laptop and desktop.
I've tried a few different note taking apps but I always find myself coming back to vimwiki. Its not the most feature rich 'app'. Matter of fact its pretty simplistic but I dont need or want most of the advanced features of other notetaking systems. But what it lacks in features, it makes up for by being a vim plugin. Seriously, I can't handle using non-neovim text editors/note taking apps. Having all of my neovim plugins, and other config tweaks make vimwiki the handsdown winner over the rest.
The missing vimwiki feature for me was a running "to do list" across all of my notes. So I wrote a script that got me the to-do list feature I needed.

Ghostwriter and syncthing. Ghostwriter really has a good focus mode that really gets me in the right spot for writing. I use Markor if I am on Android and syncthing still works there as well.
I use Vscode with markdown preview, with a git repo. The only downside is that Windows incessantly wants to group instances of an application, so it's hard to keep my notes separate from my coding stuff.
