#PKM proprietary/online products: exist
#Obsidian users: “better keep notes local and in a standard format!”
#Logseq users: “right, but also using #FOSS tools is important for the same reasons, Obsidian is not FOSS, on the other hand there is this new app called Logseq…”
Obsidian users: “it’s nice that everyone can use what suit them the best :)”

@post I’m *really* liking Logseq, but for different things than I use Obsidian for.
I’m finding Logseq ideal for dealing with the messiness of daily life—for things I need to remember and refer to now and in the coming days but won’t necessarily need long-term, which is different from the way I use Obsidian.
Rather than alternatives, I now see them as complementary tools with different though overlapping capabilities—more like Photoshop and Illustrator than Photoshop and Gimp.
I don’t remember if I already asked you, but what’s the difference between Logseq’s Document Mode and Obsidian? I don’t see why one would open another app when in Logseq you can just press t,d
to hide bullet points and write paragraphs of text in blocks like in any “longform writing” app.
t,o
shortcut to expand all collapsed blocks the collapsed:: true property
is removed;id::
properties too;This is more complex to explain than practicing, so for me there is not a reason to split data and workflows between two apps that would be a huge disadvantage.
