logseq VS obsidian-mind-map

I don't understand the negative concerns mentioned by the author.

It's quite easy to sync notes to your mobile device using a free method, or using a cloud service you might already be paying for [4].

The great thing about Obsidian is that the notes itself are just markdown files, so you can use them in any other program. This protects you as a user in case Obsidian enters a enshittification phase. A good alternative is haptic [0], it is very similar to Obsidian but can also be used in the browser. Or LogSeq [1], SilverBullet[2] and just Visual Studio Code also work well. For just editing a single file MarkText[3] is also good.

Logseq Official Website A strong alternative if you love graph-based thinking.

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 really enjoy utilizing the mind map plugin when I'm learning a new subject. It definitely helps in my hierarchal understanding and keeps me honest when I'm creating a new note structure.

The basic Mind Map that looks like this and can be shared as an interactive html file.

Sorry, I just re-read that, and it looks like an omission on my part. I think I was trying to link to the mind map plugin: https://github.com/lynchjames/obsidian-mind-map

Check out the Mind Map plugin. https://github.com/lynchjames/obsidian-mind-map

You may also like this plugin: mindmap.

I don't do the mind map thing, but I do make heavy use of Obsidian as my note taking solution and it has a graph view to show the connections between nodes.

There are also 3rd party plugins that further build on it's system like https://github.com/lynchjames/obsidian-mind-map

Obsidian itself runs locally on top of markdown files (with it's own flavor).

Community plugins: Calendar, Kanban, Excalidraw, MindMap

The Obsidian Mind Map plugin lets you create diagrams like that using markdown.
