  • Notes on Emacs Org Mode
    Sorry, but _what exactly_ «it seems to do» from your point of view? My «second brain» now is almost 300Mb of text, pictures, sound files, PDF and other stuff. As I already mentioned, it contains tables, mathematical formulae, sheet music, cross-references, code samples, UML diagrams and graphs in Graphviz format. It is versioned, indexed by local search engine, analyzed by AI assistant and shared between many... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Why I Like Obsidian
    Obsidian is great. For those looking for an open source alternative (or don't want to pay the Obsidian fees for professional usage) check out Logseq: https://logseq.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
    For an opensource alternative to Obsidian checkout Logseq (1). I spent a while thinking obsidian was opensource out of my own ignorance and was disappointed when I learned it was not. 1: https://logseq.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • How do you track your daily tasks?
    I use logseq to keep journal of my daily work. Source: 5 months ago
  • I'm a science student and amateur web dev. Is this the right tool?
    While Emacs and Org mode can certainly be used for this (and, when they can't, you can always inject little python/js scripts in your emacs config to take care of specific things), I'd also recommend you take a look at Logseq. Source: 5 months ago
  • Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
    My work notes (and email) has shifted into emacs but I'm still editing zimwiki formatted files w/ the many years of notes accumulated in it Though I've lost it moving to emacs, the Zim GUI has a nice backlink sidebar that's amazing for rediscovery. Zim also facilitates hierarchy (file and folder) renames which helps take the pressure off creating new files. I didn't make good use of the map plugin, but it's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes starting December 4
    After trying out dozens of things like this, the only one that has stuck for over a year for me has been logseq. https://logseq.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • John Carmack's Quake Worklogs
    You might enjoy something that takes advantage of this type of note-taking, like logseq (https://logseq.com/). The way I understand it (I haven't tried it out yet) is that it builds up hierarchies from bullet lists and can organize your knowledge base with them in mind, which means your daily notes can have a hierarchical bullet list and potentially you could query for every day you worked on a particular feature... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

    I search tool nearly like logsec but I need a workflow eg. Source: 9 months ago
  • Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
    I want to integrate automatic code documentation with knowledge graph/wiki software. Think [Logseq](https://logseq.com/) but with code docs integrated into it, both from public documentation sites but also internal/private codebases. I've done no work to begin implementing this and I have no idea if anyone would find it helpful or not. For me, frequently the thing that slows me down most is having to break my... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Beaver Notes: A Privacy-Focused Open-Source Note-Taking App
    - How do I get my data OUT of this thing, if I decide it isn’t right for me? C) If you’re going to go down the “unlike other note-taking platforms” route, it might be valuable to explicitly help people make the comparison in terms of features/approaches/architecture/trade-offs etc. How should one compare this against [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md)? [Simplenote](https://simplenote.com)?... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Looking for a PKMS with local storage and other basic features
    While it doesn't meet your requirement for 'WYSIWYG' I would strongly recommend Obsidian. If you can give up folders then Logseq is also a good option. The question is whether you are comfortable with Markdown or a block based (Logseq) note taking application. Source: 10 months ago
  • Tell HN: Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
    I'm biased but I'd add-- - Obsidian: https://obsidian.md/ - Logseq: https://logseq.com/ - Reflect: https://reflect.app/ - Stashpad: https://stashpad.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
  • Notion alternative: AppFlowy vs Outline vs Affine?
    I discovered recently [logseq](https://logseq.com/) and it's beautiful. I use quite a lot Zettlr for taking notes on concepts and ideas but I have to say that logseq has become my starting point for daily, short, notes and tasks. I need to work on an integration with Zettlr however, I like the possibility of the latter to organize and connect the texts, especially convenient when writing essays. Source: 10 months ago
  • Joplin – open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync
    For those that want to crosslink anything and everything I suggest Logseq[1]. Its journal and graph view are fantastic. And it has many iseful plugins. I use it along with git-sync [2] and syncthing [3] now I can sync the notes across my work, personal desktops and my mobile.

  • Task management at emacs org-mode level in neovim
    I like logseq for knowledge management and tasks. And since it's all plain markdown files they are easy to quickly open and search in nvim. https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim is really nice for this because it can follow the internal links and create new pages. Source: 10 months ago
  • Top 5 ChatGPT use cases in AWS Solution Architecture role
    Hey there, my friends! Today, I want to share with you the top 5 use cases of ChatGPT in my daily job. But before we dive in, let me tell you a little story. Recently, I made the switch from Obsidian to Logseq, for note-taking, and it got me into the habit of preferring shorter form in general. So, let's get straight to the point and explore how ChatGPT can help us save time and make our lives easier! - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • BlockSuite: An open-source Notion-like editor with multiplayer support
    It would be interesting to have your perspective, as an Obsidian user, on Logseq(https://logseq.com/). I say this, as like you - I moved towards this for local-first file storage, where content can be edited on any device with any editor and where I have more control over my data. I did try obsidian briefly, but eventually gravitated towards Notion for knowledge and project management - but found that the bulk of... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
  • Show HN: Writedown.app – FOSS Markdown Diary
    I use logseq for my diaries. https://logseq.com/ It's very powerful, but really doesn't feel that way. Each day I open it, it creates a new YYYY-MM-DD.md and shows it to me. All content is MD lists (or "blocks") and can be individually tagged with #hashtags. When there's a certain topic I wrote about, say writing down a dream I had, I tag the top-level block with #dream. Then I can write under it as I please. All... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

External sources with reviews and comparisons of Logseq

Supercharge Your Productivity: Three Recommended Tools for Thought
Outliners (think Workflowy, Roam, Logseq) rely on blocks and indentation for primary connections, and references to other blocks or pages for richer links. They’re optimized for capturing quick thinking.
Logseq vs Roam Research vs Obsidian: which one should you choose?
Refined user interface: Logseq offers a refined user interface that is easy to understand and pleasing to the eyes. On the other hand, Obsidian looks like a jumble of various UI elements which are hard to figure out and look daunting. Logseq wins this round for me, hands down. – The only reason to choose Obsidian’s user interface over Logseq’s is that the former is far more customizable.
Best 5 Obsidian Alternatives
Logseq is an open-source outliner application that makes it easy to write, organize and share your thoughts and to-do lists thanks to the ability to create and edit plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files. This means that your data is locally stored and yours forever and that it can be edited with any tools supporting those formats.
Obsidian vs. Roam vs. LogSeq: Which PKM App is Right For You?
While LogSeq and Roam function very similarly, LogSeq isn’t quite as refined. There’s a lot of thought that went into Roam’s simple interface, and while we appreciate that LogSeq is trying to push things forward in specific areas (like the addition of a Journals page), it doesn’t feel quite as smooth.
Best Next-Level Note Apps for 2021
The privacy-first, open-source knowledge base allows users to visualize every note through graphs. Knowledge grows and new ideas and thoughts are connected into a “tree of ideas”. With Logseq users can organize tasks and projects with built-in workflow commands.
