With everything going on with Twitter and Reddit I feel like I have a new appreciation for having my own local knowledge base on Logseq.

Logseq is fantastic.
The outline approach is great for quick note contributions without worrying about the look of the notes you’re trying to capture. Writing journal entries or pages is so seamless, and linking is so easy. Block references are also a powerful addition.
The mobile version is lacking compared to say obsidian, but I’ve found it good as I’m not focused on propping up the application, rather focusing on my content/notes.
Thanks for this friend
I remember this being marketed as the Emacs Org mode + Org Roam combo for the masses, which is totally fine. However, if you want true control over your data and you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone, consider using Emacs + Syncthing
you have complete control over your data with logseq.
Using it and I love it! Can definitely recommend it!
This looks intriguing! I currently use BookStack as a documentation platform, but it seems Logseq might be a step above something like BookStack?
I love Logseq! When I first started using it, I was categorizing all my notes as I was slowly moving over my knowledge base. And over time, I’ve switched over to using the Journal more and more! It’s extremely well done.
I had no idea such a thing existed, thanks for posting! I currently use Notion at work, which is similar, but this looks promising for home use.
i’d never heard of this concept! i have a disorganized stack of markdown files - notes, to-do and packing lists - that this looks ideal to tame
Another alternative, admittedly not open-source, is Recollectr (disclaimer: built by me.)
Recollectr was inspired by prior projects like Notational Velocity but aims to be a lot more - omnibox, markdown support, reminders; and for paid users: revisions, note-linking, and sync. I built it because I felt like other note-taking apps just weren’t fast enough and they broke my concentration.
It’s quite late here but I’d be happy to answer any questions tomorrow!
I was just checking out the site on my iPad. Only the top image loads and the rest are white boxes. I disabled all content blockers and reloaded but the problem persisted. It might still be a local problem, but now you have a heads-up that something MIGHT be wrong.
Thanks very much for letting me know; I’ll look into this! They’re all videos so perhaps there’s some encoding issue with Safari on iOS.
yoink
I am using this now
Love Logseq for a lot of reasons, but their PDF annotator is really a gamechanger. I can open a PDF, mark it up, copy the highlighted reference to my notes, and then when I review my notes just by clicking the copied reference I can jump to that section of the PDF. Awesome.
How does something like this compare to Obsidian?
Both are pretty versatile and make use of local markdown files. Logseq is more ouliner/bulleted note focused, while Obsidian is paragraph first (but with plugins for either you can really modify this quite a bit). Another difference is Obsidian organizes things into folders, while Logseq’s organization is flatter and more reliant on tags and hyperlinks to connect things (although you can nest pages, for instance having pages like this: pets, pets/cats, pets/dogs). Obsidian is more stable with a larger plugin ecosystem, but Logseq is being very rapidly developed and the dev team is super responsive.
Finally, Logseq is open source, while Obsidian is not. Their monetization models are pretty similar too, with the free version of both being really generous and limited features like Logseq/Obsidian-native Sync being available for a $5 monthly subscription. I regularly use both and encourage you to check them both out and explore what works for you.
Isn’t obsidian also privacy focused?
But it’s not Open Source
I use Logseq routinely. So useful when you set up daily templates to fill out for your day.
I don’t really make use of templates. I do love the journal. It makes it easy to jot things down.
The journal is the biggest reason I move from Obsidian to using Logseq regularly. There is so much less friction just going to journal and writing ideas rather then figuring out where to add the note too before typing.
I haven’t used Logseq, but I’ve found trying to categorise notes in Obsidian made me use it less so I just rely on backlinks as tags and to create connections between notes and dump most things in the primary vault folder. I’ve gotten comfortable journaling using daily notes with templates.
I won’t bother trying it out if it forces me to use chromium
It seems that your browser doesn’t support the new native filesystem API, please use any Chromium 86+ based browser like Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, etc. Notice that the API doesn’t support mobile browsers at the moment.
The dev team is working on replacing the filesystem API with another protocol supported by Firefox. That page is just a demo; you only need the support if you want to save your changes to the demo. You can try the desktop app via flathub.
flathub install logseqthat tripped me up too - but it’s just the web demo. if you install it, your browser doesn’t matter
Doesn’t like Firefox mobile apparently. For a privacy focused platform you’d think it would support that over Chrome.
its lack of protocol support from firefox end. Firefox doesn’t support the FS API. The logseq team plans to migrate to a different protocol that is supported by FF OPFS
