Oh - this sounds interesting.
Whenever I needed to jot down any notes I've been finding myself just writing plain .txt files with bullet points, and trying tools like Obsidian or TiddlyWiki I always ended up being overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I could do (and with all the customization options) that I never got around to actually writing things down. I'm definitely gonna look into how Logseq works.
(Although I have to say, their website does look a bit "too hype-y" for my liking. IDK how to explain it, just a gut feeling. Still, at least it's FOSS so it can't be too bad)
The website also put me off, I only kept at it because my partner was already using it and it looked solid enough. I even asked "Are you sure this is the logseq? It looks so...idk Marketing?"
But so far I just seem to use it a lot, and the more I use it the more useful I find it, especially after learning how to add tags (didn't seem particularly obvious in the docs), and after finally getting into the flow of using Syncthing.
