Review Logseq?

Logseq is highly praised for its powerful, flexible note-taking and productivity features. Users appreciate its open-source nature, local storage, and seamless integration with Markdown and Org-mode files. The tool's bi-directional linking and daily journal capabilities are particularly valued for organizing thoughts and tasks. Maker reviews highlight its effectiveness in project management and design processes, as seen with ConvoCards and Notion Podcast Manager. While some note a learning curve, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive.

As a long-time Evernote user, Logseq seems to fit my PKM needs more efficiently (and securely) than Notion or other similar cloud apps.

Logseq changed the way I take notes. I used to use Notion as my primary note taking system. Notion was not my first either. I used Evernote. Then moved to OneNote. And then moved to Notion. I was using Notion for a long time. But I felt Notion felt too heavy. It takes a lot of time to load. And it was very difficult to organize my notes. I had two options. If I want to take down some notes, either I need to find where I can put the notes or, I need to put them in Quick notes and later move them to relevant notebook. And opening different pages was very slow. I started looking for other choices. I found another category of note taking apps like Obsidian and Logseq. I tried out both. I loved the features of Logseq. So, I'm using it for a month for now. I'm stuck with Logseq for two reasons. The note taking is local. I keep the notes in local disk and sync it with git. This makes the note taking feels so fast. The second one is the way Logseq organizes the notes. I don't have to think about where to put notes. I can just backlink them wherever I'm writing the notes. When I want to look back at something, I find everything I need at the same place

Very solid PKMS with infinite outlining as a central mode of writing. FOSS project with a vibrant and fun community. It's easy to jump in and make contributions. Think of some way you could improve the product? You can write custom Javascript that gives you the full capabilities of their plugin api. I highly rate this PKMS. It's an exemplar of the power of FOSS
