I'm strongly considering moving away from Obsidian to Logseq, obsidian just has some limitations that I think I can work around in Logseq (insufficient syntax highlighting due to old integrated version of prismjs being one issue for ex). I have sincere doubts that Obsidian will ever go open source.
Obsidian not going open source is a big reason I'm apprehensive to start using it.
Honest question: Are "wiki notes" useful? With other words, are notes in Roam/Obsidian/Logseq/Joplin/Dendron useful on the long term? Is the graph nature of notes a "plus" or just a distraction? Do you query your notes in a way that the results are more helpful than using a "flat wiki" (one or few text/markdown files)? I use a "flat wiki" or despite not using org-mode, I believe it may be customized to "god-mode" _IF…
> are notes in Roam/Obsidian/Logseq/Joplin/Dendron useful on the long term? Very useful but the UX is very far from perfect. I would change/add dozens things in Obsidian. I also hate storing notes in a tree hierarchy - a very annoying overhead. I want it to be a freeform graph only with no taxonomy requiring a note to be located in a single specific place. What I actually want is an open-source (fundamentally extensi…

The number of potential links in a graph of n vertices scales like O(n^2). That does not mean that the actual number of links in the knowledge base should scale like O(n^2). However, it could mean that the overhead work to maintaining and building the connections in the knowledge base becomes unbearable. That is, the solution is not saving time anymore. Solutions like these need, imo, really good link prediction solu…

If I need to start adding some (link markup)[linkmarkup.example] while writing, I can't be bothered.
I'm currently using Obsidian, but was thinking of moving to LogSeq. I guess I should give this a look also. So many choices...
Also LogSeq: "It seems that your browser doesn't support the new native filesystem API, please use any Chromium 86+ based browser like Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, etc. Notice that the API doesn't support mobile browsers at the moment."
... "Privacy first", and forcing you to use Google infrastructure.
I would steer clear of that one, hard.
Every time I see a new note taking app, I get excited that it might finally be the one that will satisfy my desired workflow. But every time I end up disappointed that nobody seems to think about this space in the way that I do. Here is my basic premise: I want all of my notes to be dated, and I want them to tell a story of not just what I was thinking, but when . Time is so fundamental to note taking. A note is neve…
You can take it a step further if that doesn't completely address your needs by customizing it. The journal button is just a note with a script (with a specific tag). It's highly customizable.
You can export your notes (all, or get granular with some or a single note) as HTML or Markdown or OPML.
Two must have feature of personal knowledge management app for me are: 1) Pasting web page excerpts with non-text resources (images, animations) included as a copy (and not just as a url reference that might not be avaliable anymore in the future). 2) Quality full text search (across all notes or just a sub-section) Many knowledge management solutions have trouble with these two, so they are the first things that I u…
Say I wanted to beat these guys at their game. How do I come up with a description more pompous than "personal knowledge management" to describe entering text. Fascinating stuff
How about: personal "personal knowledge management" management ?

Trilium Notes can do those very well. The first one being done with the web clipper extension. https://github.com/zadam/trilium
