I actually stumbled upon it, but even though they have an active github account and there is an Arch Linux package, the software is proprietary. So I would rather patch the FOSS alternatives to my desire.
Logseq is pretty similar to Obsidian, and it’s FOSS. It’s still really young, but I’ve enjoyed using it more than Obsidian for my personal note taking style. It’s block-based and focused on daily journals, so instead of folders of individual notes the tags/references become interlinked pages. It’s been cool to see my daily logs become a web of concepts. Syncing is a new function they’re adding for supporters, but it can be done with Syncthing if you’re nasty.
It’s definitely a different way of note taking than Keep or Joplin and maybe not for everyone, but I hope I’m at least doing it justice and piqued someone’s curiosity!
I was going to recommend Logseq as well. I use the git plug-in on laptops and Working Copy (git on iOS) and some automations to sync it on mobile.
I looked into the git plugin and Working Copy, but the app price pushed me to support the Logseq team. I’m totally cool paying for apps, though $25 isn’t a trivial cost for an experiment, and I just figured I could put that money toward the development of the app I want versus a third party workaround, for lack of a better word.
I do appreciate that it works with git though, and I’m tempted to try it out just for a fun weekend project.
Are there any plugins you’d recommend for Logseq?
