| Logseq is interesting. It's an outliner with a unique model for note taking. It's organized around the idea of a sequence of logs. The happy path for logseq is that each day you open up today' | Logseq is interesting. It's an outliner with a unique model for note taking. It's organized around the idea of a sequence of logs.

| On the other hand, Obsidian wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants to get all the advantages of Markdown but also offer high level functionality such as task tracking, tabular data storage, query languages etc. To make these work well, the underlying data really wants to be structured. But there is no structured data store in Obsidian, the data format is "just Markdown" | On the other hand, Obsidian wants to have its cake and eat it too.

| Consequently I don't use any of the plugins in Obsidian that do this and so for me, most of the advanced workflows are lost on me and it ends up as a glorified Markdown editor. However, the editor itself is quite nice so it's still worthwhile to use it vs e.g. vim on a directory tree. The sync service (which costs money) works well and does a good job syncing apps between my various computers and phone. The mobile editor is not great but as it is an App it's more functional than alternatives. Writing Markdown is fine when you have a full keyboard but it's not a good experience on mobile. | Consequently I don't use any of the plugins in Obsidian that do this and so for me, most of the advanced workflows are lost on me and it ends up as a glorified Markdown editor.
