#2Author here, thanks for the posting!
I've been working it since February, it started as an org-mode web outliner so that I can use it on my phone to check some todos and capture some ideas.
I added some features (backlinks, graph, block embeds, etc.) from Roam Research after trying it. It can be self-hosted and the plan is to have something like TiddlyWiki so that you can use it as a whole HTML file in your own website. The documentation is a read-only version of logseq itself and it's hosted on GitHub pages.
The org mode parser is open sourced too, https://github.com/mldoc/mldoc, most features are already supported, we're working on something like org agenda and org-roam integrations.
Documentation example: https://logseq.github.io/. Any questions or feedback will be appreciated, thank you!

#3Glad to see open-source tools like this starting up. Have you had a chance to look at Athens [1] to compare? They seem to be using similar tooling.

Thanks for the question!
Yes, both Logseq and Athens are working on open source knowledge base tool, and both are using clojure/clojurescript and datascript. Some differences are:
1. logseq works directly with plaintext files (it support both org mode and markdown for the record, we plan to add more markup formats like asciidoc in the future).
2. logseq can be used on the web and can be synced using Git.
3. logseq draws a lot of ideas from org mode, tiddlywiki instead of only Roam Research.
Athens is working on a desktop app (which we'll start building soon). It's always great to have multiple implementations so that we can learn from each other.

#5Glad to see and test logseq that compares favourably with other outliners including Checkvist.com that I've been using for 10 years.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions in the logseq discord group, looking forward to learn more ideas from other outliners!

#7Why does this say it needs github? Can it not use any git repository?

Looks like it used GitHub for SSO and likely specific APIs.

The plan is to add self-host git support later.
