@jack interesting! Obsidian works great for me, but I just started with it. What are the benefits of logseq in your opinion?
@roelwillems Obidian is pretty great. I’m interested in Logseq because I really like the Roam-like outliner approach, but based off local files. And those files can be either Org mode or Markdown, which is great since that means I can edit my notes in Emacs. Some of the TODO handling is interesting, too. Logseq is new and a bit buggy, but the approach feels right to me, for what that’s worth. Now, if I could only get Vim bindings I’d be golden :)
@jack It is intriguing and looks nearly an exact copy. I’ve quickly one nice side affect, by trying the import feature by feeding it a JSON backup from Roam I’ve ended up with a repo that has a backup of the content I’ve been putting in to Roam. The features here might be enough to prevent me from renewing Roam when my subscription expires next year.
@roelwillems @jack I am using Obsidian for my work notes because I don’t want them syncing/storing on any cloud storage. The files I create in Obsidian stay local to my PC and sync to my employers O365/Onedrive instance. For my personal notes I want to be able to access them from any device and anywhere there is Internet, so cloud storage that Roam and Logseq provides is important. What is interesting is that Logseq is basically using git for file sync and storing files in the browser local storage. I am a little concerned about the browser local storage because I think there are limits on it and it might also depend on the health of browser. On the other hand, much of that is mitigated by the push to github, and I can always clone that repo… in fact I imagine cloning the repo and importing to Obsidian will work pretty well.
@frankm I’m currently not using Github or cloud storage at all with Logseq. A recent update enables using the local filesystem for storage. The author says he just changed all his notes over to that because it has quickly become more stable than the github sync option. There sure are some great choices in this space lately!
@jack That’s interesting because I just set it up and I didn’t see anything aboiut local filesystem for storage. Is there doco about that you can point me to? I haven’t yet checked out the Discord.
@frankm With a fresh browser session (Chrome, as I think only Chrome and Edge support it) there’s an Open icon. Screenshot: baty.d.pr/te7PJf
@frankm @jack thanks for the replies! I’m using Obsidian with resilio sync. My Raspberry Pi home NAS works as my ”always online” end point which works very well. I like having a sync solution which is in my complete control. But the Git integration of Logseq is interesting. Maybe I could also setup a GitHub backup for my Obsidian setup next to the sync solution.
