quartz VS logseq

As others have pointed out you don't "host" Obsidian - it's just a local collection of markdown files. But if you're asking about a self-hosted alternative to "Obsidian Publish" for creating a knowledgebase that others can answer, I'm Quartz[0], a static-site generator designed to turn Obsidian markdown files into a website. I'm building and it and hosting it on Gitlab Pages at work[1].

I wonder if https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz was considered for this, though that project is more setup as an open source Obsidian publish replacement than a private PKMS

Shout out to Quartz, which produces a site similar to Obsidian Publish: https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/

(I would use Obsidian Publish, but it rendered far too slowly on some pages. I do use their excellent sync service though.)

https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/ + cloudflare, write in obsidian and publish with a git push

Logseq

I have been using Logseq [1] for this. It displays all days in a list view that you can scroll down, which I prefer.

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.

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.
