With everything going on with Twitter and Reddit I feel like I have a new appreciation for having my own local knowledge base on Logseq.
Loved everything about Logseq except the insertion of bullet point symbols in the markdown files, so I went back to Obsidian. I get that Logseq is actually an outliner, but so many people would also like it to work without that. Opening their markdown files in any other editor looks terrible then.
Is there an open source version of its sync feature? not just like with syncthing, but IIRC, you need to pay for sync in-app.
If you can build your thinking around outlining and can tolerate minute inconveniences, I think it’s a nice tool for PKM. Not sure about what privacy Logseq adds, from the perspective of someone who uses Obsidian with SyncThing to synchronize his notes between devices.
Unlike obsidian Logseq is FOSS. Arguably that doesn’t directly contribute to it being more private but I would rather use and support FOSS.
