Logseq is a knowledge management and collaboration platform. It focuses on privacy, longevity, and user control. It is Free Libre Open Source Software (AGPL-licensed).

Logseq offers a range of powerful tools for knowledge management, collaboration, PDF annotation, and task management with support for multiple file formats, including Markdown and Org-mode, and various features for organizing and structuring your notes.

Logseq's Whiteboard feature lets you organize your knowledge and ideas using a spatial canvas with shapes, drawings, website embeds, and connectors. You can visually group and link your notes and external media (such as videos and images), enabling visual thinkers to compose, remix, annotate, and connect content from their knowledge base and emerging thoughts in a new way.

In addition to its core features, Logseq has a growing ecosystem of plugins and themes that enable a wide range of workflows and customization options. Mobile apps are also available, providing access to most of the features of the desktop application. Whether you're a student, a professional, or anyone who values a clear and organized approach to managing your ideas and notes, Logseq is an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their productivity and streamline their workflow.

I think I'm (sadly) done with @logseq. It corrupted some data again and when I went to pull the stuff from git I figured it corrupted the .git/config even earlier than that. So now I have to pull the correct content from an old windows backup, ffs. What if I didn't have a full disk backup?

I like the idea of block references, I love the query engine and the simple UI. But data safety comes first, really. Logseq is a forever beta at this point.

I really like the concepts behind the logseq db version but @obsidian doesn't fuck with my data and you can see good iterative progress of its development. Yeah, it's not opensource. It's open data format, though, something logseq db will have to figure out eventually anyway.

I have a page for people working in a specific field (like QA) and some peoople under that (like QA/Max and QA/Lena). All these people also have aliases like Max SecondName nad Lena Schmidt. All these aliases show up as seperate nodes in the graph view... Does someone know how to fix this?

image descriptionA screenshot of the right sidebar of Logseq showing the contents tab. The tab contains some links to certain websites, like a ticketing system, Teams, some homepage, a switch and a link called Kollegium which is german and means Colleagues (I should probably change that to be English aswell). There are also links to almost all the task pages and a query which shows the currently running NOW tasks. The picture is meant to show how much this smol sidebar can do. I like it, and I would like to see more of it in the program!

END IMAGE DESCRIPTION

At first I used Logseq only for personal use. It's great for quickly noting something obviously, but that networking effect people talk about really got into full force once I started working with it for my admin job.

I only just started using that sidebar and some more plugins (vim shortcuts and some of the awesome plugins) and those make the experience that much better. Also that pdf printer plugin is cool, even though I wish it was just a Logseq feature by default to be able to print stuff. I know that a pdf converter is coming!

I am very much not an advanced user, but these simple tools alone make me feel like organizing things became like three times easier. It also introduced me to markdown and now I miss it whenever I don't have it, or I have to use some fake version with different syntax for basic highlighting and links.

Thank you dear Logseq team and contributers for creating such useful and not bloated software.

I've been looking for an OS replacement for Workflowy for some time, and logseq looks like it might be an option. A quick test drive makes it seem (to me at least) that it has a lot of extra bells and whistles that get in the way that I don't need. But I see that it has plugins--is it possible to set it up like a calendar and have each day have its own collapsible outline?

Hi, I just started using Logseq via the Mac desktop app. My Mouse is a Logi M720 Triathlon with thumb buttons set to default settings with Forward (Forward button) and Back (Back button). Those work just fine everywhere. IDEs, text editors, Obsidian, browsers etc. But in Logseq, the buttons do nothing and it kinda breaks my flow because I have to switch to keyboard for weird shortcuts or have to klick the back button manually. Is there a way ti fix this? I could not find a working fix yet.

Hello all, I am donating to Logseq since some time to support the development. However I am not actively using it and are still stuck with Obsidian and/or Notion since I am missing a good structure to organize my books and quotes.

I really want to switch but I can't figure this out. For storing books that's fine. I can create a page per book and give it some metadata that I can then use to filter and search. Like that:

Now however as you can see I'm writing quotes (Zitate in German) and my opinion on them (Meinung in German) in the book's page.

And here comes the tricky part:

  • I want a general overview of all quotes that I can search
  • I want an overview of quotes per author (the author is in the page properties so it has to basically do something like "select all pages of typ = book where autor = author and collect all quotes on them (page reference #Zitate)"

In Notion I currently have a general database of quotes:

In each of these quotes there is my opinion written in the page.

And then there's the book database that has dedicated book pages to it which look like this and reference the quotes coming from that page:

Those are generated automatically when creating a book since I use a template for that but I know that Logseq supports templates, too so that should be fine.

For looking up quotes by the author due to how databases in Notion work I could just filter for it in the quotes database. However I also do the same with the quotes in the author's page that I am doing in the book's page. Thus when I open up the page of an author I can instantly see all their books, their current status (if I have read them or not etc.) and all their quotes that I have stored:

So yeah I am trying to find some kind of structure since ages now within Logseq to be able to replicate something like that, solving my only issue that keeps me from switching. Maybe there is some way with queries but I haven't found one. I also don't want to rely on custom CSS since I want to have something that is natively working without eventually failing in the future for some reason.

Hi all, I've been getting into logseq over the past month, and it's what I've always wanted for many reasons.

For my work instance, I would really like to have it just pop up with this in the morning 2024-04-15

  • [[project a]]
  • [[project b]]
  • [[project c]] etc...

But, I've looked at config.edn to find :default-templates {:journals "project a"}

Which works, but I can't figure out if it's possible to add multiple. I've tried spaces, commas, multiple lines, and it all kicks back errors. Anyone have any idea?

Been trying trying out @logseq. I love that I can just dump everything and it will organize it for me! What I like: #notes are stored locally in markdown files (can backup w github), #orgmode compatibility, and ofc #foss. Althought I'd love to see a #vim editing plugin :) https://logseq.com/

Logseq supports properties on both the page- and the block-level.

How do you use them so structure your knowledge?

Hm, @logseq requires a contributors license agreement (CLA #cla ) to sign over all contributor's code to the company, so does the @joplinapp, with @joplinapp also having the server component source-available.

@obsidian is closed-source, wants $50/yr for a commercial license, paired with their $10/mo for sync - that's a lot of dollars for note taking.

Alternatives, anyone? Ideally open source to which I can contribute financially, without a CLA that will inevitably mean a change in licensing.

Switching from Readwise Reader + @obsidian to @omnivore + @logseq is a bit bumpy, but worth it to support #OpenSource.
