I've built a web-based tool for myself that has similar philosophy: https://edna.arslexis.io/

It does support multiple pages but you can use just one.

It has a nifty feature in that you can divide the single file into virtual parts. They just have alternate backgrounds to tell them apart. And each virtual part can have a type for syntax highlighting (plain text, markdown or a programming language).

I've been using it for a few months now and it's my primary note taking / knowledge recording thing.

Even though it's web based, on Chrome you can save notes on disk so it works like a desktop app.

Each note is a plain text file so you can edit them in any text editor.

If you put notes on a shared drive (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc.) you can work on notes on multiple computers.

It's also open-source: https://github.com/kjk/edna
