I’ve been using LogSeq since May 9th (I know since that’s my first journal :) It’s been an interesting journey as I’ve been fairly note-scatterbrained. I’ve recently decided to try to stay in the markdown world since it provides flexibility. If I ever decide to abandon LogSeq for whatever reason, I’ll at least have an easily ex/importable format. Which brings me to a point I’d like to note…

I had a brief fling with Obsidian before I found LogSeq. I also found it a bit off for some of the type of notes I wanted like you mentioned, but I do find that it works better for other type of notes that, while you can do in LogSeq, they don’t work as well. The cool thing is that you can fairly easily use the two together. There’s another youtuber (I’d have to go look up) who has a video on doing this, but the essence is that you point both at the same folder, make a few tweaks to Obsidian so that it’s journal function looks in the same directory and uses the same format (I don’t use Obsidian for journaling, but it at least keeps them in the same mind), and a couple other default directory location-type things like assets and new pages. Then, you can open either one as best suited for your task at hand and interact with the same notes, same linkings, tags, etc. For me it’s probably 90% LogSeq, but Obsidian can still do it’s thing when needed and I’m not creating further silo’d note sprawl.

I still need to better refine my habits on grouping pages vs hashtags, utilizing todos better, templates, and general note retrieval, but it’s all a work in progress, and your video has given me a bit of inspiration, so cheers for that.
