    Personal Wiki for Vim

  • For the past 11 years I have been using Vimwiki (a wiki plugin for Vim) for all my note taking. From time to time I take a look at which other tools are available and give some of them a try. Mainly to find a better solution to use on an Android device as Vim is not really mobile-friendly. A few weeks ago I discovered Obsidian.md and then Logseq. While it is very easy to use Obsidian.md in combination with Vimwiki, it turns out to be a bit more difficult with Logseq. Not necessarily because the different paradigms (pages vs blocks), but mainly because I use multiple directories in my Vimwiki. I know a lot of people suggest to dump everything into 1 directory (Zettelkasten-style). But I like to keep things in a few separated 'contexts'. So I have a few directories: diary, work, work/meetings, notes and one other. Most of the pages only link to pages in the same directory. When I need to link to a different directory Vimwiki easily allows this: [[/work/meetings/foobar-meeting]], [[../notes/Coffee]] and so on. Obsidian.md also understands this. In Logseq this seems impossible. I found how I could configure my diary directory to be used as the journal directory and my notes directory as the pages directory, but then it seems I'm stuck. Is there a way to use such a directory structure in Logseq?
