Workflowy.
That's what I started with originally, but it's not offline and stores all data on their servers. Something like Workflowy but offline or self-hosted would be brilliant.
So, Obsidian?

How are you using Obsidian (and the LLM part if you want to expand on that) to build a second brain? I’m using Obsidian but more as a replacement for Apple Notes because it supports Markdown. My vault is just a collection of notes somewhat organized into relevant folders. I know there’s a lot of functionality I’m not utilizing.
At first I was using the plugin Claudian. Now I just opened the folder in Claude Code. It's not quite done yet, but when it is I think I'll anonymize it and share it on GitHub. In the meantime, here's a pretty screenshot without anything personal: https://snipboard.io/tyRYEJ.jpg https://snipboard.io/mryYKe.jpg Also used CC to help me build some complex Apple shortcuts to let me capture stuff easily. Either by sharing…

Re: Logseq 2.0 Beta (DB version) is here
#53Any good outliner alternatives out there? I originally came from Roam and was really happy to find an offline alternative in Logseq. I've since moved to Obsidian, though. Obsidian works well, but I still feel like my brain works best with the outliner-style workflow that Roam and Logseq offer. I have heard of https://outl.app/ but when I tried it out, it still seemed in a very early stage (and heavily vibe-coded, whi…
Workflowy.
Workflowy is not free. If you are willing to pay, Obsidian > Workflowy. If you are not willing to pay, Obsidian > Workflowy.
Re: Logseq 2.0 Beta (DB version) is here
#54It pains me to say, but it's probably too little, too late. Logseq remained a buggy mess, is now on an unmaintained (thus insecure) version of electron. And now after several years of complete stagnation, the supposed improvement is a database format to fix their technical issues, so I can no longer keep all my data as markdown files? At a time when half the edits are done by Claude and tracked with jujustu, this is…
i begrudgingly switched from logseq to obsidian.

Both worked for me in private mode. Strange.

#56Logseq is a mystery to me. They used to have a web version that they discontinued to "concentrate on the product", and that's where they lost me. I assume they "concentrated" on the app and the desktop version, presumably to get some revenue from their sync service, which is understandable, but it could have been executed better. Fast forward a couple of years and I see they're incomprehensibly pivoting to split the product in two. If it's strategy, I can't understand it.

People's obsession with privacy and desktop only in this space is a little lost on me.
I'd much rather have my information on the go in the cloud. None of this is so important I'll need it in 10 years or so secret I can't let the cloud service see it.
Re: Logseq 2.0 Beta (DB version) is here
#58I donated $15/month for from mid-2022 to early-2023 to try Logseq Sync when it was in beta. I thought I'd support them while they got it over the finishline then pay for the feature. It's still in beta. What a joke.

then you're a pretty unusual note taker because personal notes frequently cover anything from medical, financial, work-related or simply dates, addresses or other personally identifiable information none of which I would ever remotely trust with an online cloud service. In particular not in an ecosystem of haphazardly abandoned and rebooted projects that are maintained in a Discord channel.

The reality a is a small percentage of my data in any of those spaces will be needed in 5 years let alone 10
Medical history is all in Epic. And I’m struggling to think of much of anything in my personal digital life from 10 years from now I’ve ever looked at. I guess long term investments I’ll need the cost basis when I sell. That’s in my brokerage account.
And if Epic or my broker abruptly disappear I’ll have larger issues. As will society.
