Check affine.pro it's really flexible. Some features might seem overkill. But I think that the flexibility might pay off in some situations (e.g. adding drawings, having character profiles in separate docs, add location maps, etc.)

It's a local-first alternative to Notion. Just a few months ago they added export to pdf (there's markdown too, of course) https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/pull/2604
