logseq VS athens

This idea feels a little like bullet journaling or logseq [0] to me. For what it's worth, I do this in Obsidian and clean-up my thoughts on a regular basis. It hits the right balance of minimalism and usefulness for me.

You want to build custom tooling or workflows in Logseq but you don't know Clojure (or Datalog, whatever that is).

I decided to write down my family history, and I'm looking for special software to help me with it.

I want the information to be structured. I want to navigate easily between persons, places, events, timelines, see interconnected items, etc.

The best option I found is logseq (https://github.com/logseq/logseq). Are there any better options? How do you manage your family history?

I previously discussed how to apply this method using Logseq, another popular tool that has strong support for journaling. This time, we'll explore how to apply the same principles to Obsidian, another very popular note-taking app.

logseq

1. LogSeq - Notes taking app. Notes taking is a good habit, and I was using obsidian for a very long time, and today I across a new tool named logseq. They are complimentary to each other and I will use them for journaling.

Does anyone have a "lab notebook" style of PKM in Emacs?

I used to use Org-Roam in Emacs, but fell in love with Logseq [0], primarily because

1. it has a "daily journal" default workflow (though individual pages are supported)

2. the support of datalog queries

3. templates

This basically allows me to make templates for things I need (e.g. meeting notes, etc) and to write a few key queries (that are also templated for reuse) to do things like get the most overdue tasks, upcoming, things I promised to others, things I'm waiting on, etc. I can even drill down and get that stuff for an individual "page", e.g. "Emacs" or "C++".

The lack of a "lab journal" format + flexible queries makes going back to other solutions not as enticing, as the "perfect artifact" of wiki-esque editing (and not being able to easily see backlinks) is not as easy. I can open my Logseq folder, make a "meeting" template, then #tag the people and topics discussed, and be able to go back later and make a query to see when I discussed #topic with #person.

I would love to move this back into Emacs, as I hate having a separate tool for PKM, so if anyone has a similar workflow (or at least flexible queries on "tags" and task status, backlinks, etc, even without the daily journal thing), I'd be grateful for any tips.

logseq fully free and open-source Obsidan-like tool with fewer plugins, however, it also gives you a chance to complex everything a lot. I have been using it for less than a year, however at some point, I noticed that I'm writing longer forms in Obsidian, and daily notes in Logseq. Why? Due Logseq design. It starts everything as a new point with -, even if it's a standard Markdown. We’re starting everything at a new point. Issues?

I would recommend https://logseq.com/

Progress on the `master` branch is a bit slow because there's a transition towards using a database instead of the filesystem https://github.com/logseq/logseq/tree/feat/db

https://discuss.logseq.com/t/why-the-database-version-and-ho...

Unfortunately, I think it's ultimately unethical to support the normalization of closed-source text-editing software, because it sets a bad precedent for the level of trust a user should have in their computing environment. For this reason, I much prefer Logseq. https://logseq.com/

The underlying in memory datalog style database that can run in the browser that enables these apps

There is a docker compose file on there github that made things easy to get started. Has a web interface and was very quick. You could have multiple users as well.

I need a guide how to install athens for installing previously downloaded go packages. I have created a binary file from athens https://github.com/athensresearch/athens and configure .toml with path to local storage, also change the storage parameter to [disk

Athens

Get the docker compose manager. Create a new stack and put in the docker Compose file from Athens. Change to the ports and volumes you want and you are good to go.

Has anyone successfully running a selfhosted version of Athens from athensreseach. There is a demo. They even have a document page with some help for docker.
