Logseq changed the way I take notes. I used to use Notion as my primary note taking system. Notion was not my first either. I used Evernote. Then moved to OneNote. And then moved to Notion. I was using Notion for a long time. But I felt Notion felt too heavy. It takes a lot of time to load. And it was very difficult to organize my notes. I had two options. If I want to take down some notes, either I need to find where I can put the notes or, I need to put them in Quick notes and later move them to relevant notebook. And opening different pages was very slow. I started looking for other choices. I found another category of note taking apps like Obsidian and Logseq. I tried out both. I loved the features of Logseq. So, I'm using it for a month for now. I'm stuck with Logseq for two reasons. The note taking is local. I keep the notes in local disk and sync it with git. This makes the note taking feels so fast. The second one is the way Logseq organizes the notes. I don't have to think about where to put notes. I can just backlink them wherever I'm writing the notes. When I want to look back at something, I find everything I need at the same place
Very solid PKMS with infinite outlining as a central mode of writing. FOSS project with a vibrant and fun community. It's easy to jump in and make contributions. Think of some way you could improve the product? You can write custom Javascript that gives you the full capabilities of their plugin api.
I highly rate this PKMS. It's an exemplar of the power of FOSS
A perfect alternative if you need a x-platform note/knowledge managing tool that keeps your data in a format that is future proof (Markdown) - so that they are not lost even in case the software would be discontinued. An advantage not to be underestimated.
I prefer it to more popular Obisdian - as it has no restriction & I can use it for my private and corperate work. I used Obsidian as well - until I got aware of this - yes, there are less plugins, but there is everything (& more) than I require and expect from my knowledge database.
Logseq is currently the best outline and knowledge management application I'm aware of, and I tested a bunch. I appreciate the outline-only approach, so you don't have to think about files and organizing in directories and hierarchy, you can just create notes which will get attached to your graph via deep-links, or attach nodes to a date.
Logseq is my daily driver. From Productivity management, accounting and to personal finance straetgy– all of these dimensions of my life has been amplified and augmented thanks to Logseq. Although I miss the absence of a sync feature– the feeling of safety and reassurance one gets when using Logseq as your second Brain and thinking tool is unparalleled.
If there is one tool I would love to be the patron for, that would be logseq.
