Thank you! The task management is from Emacs Org Mode, logseq has the similar TODO/DOING/DONE/NOW/LATER keywords and A/B/C priorities, deadlines and scheduled are supported too. More org mode features are coming!

#6I am a backer, after having discovered logseq as a viable alternative to Roam. Great project, and a great and responsive team building the system.

For the ones looking to do the same: https://opencollective.com/logseq
Definitely would be great to see this project gain mindshare and funds. Also, for the ones who wonder what it is they reach when clicking the link for this "Show HN", there is an about-post here: https://logseq.com/blog/about

#8I've noticed this is built with clojurescript, as is Roam and https://github.com/athensresearch/athens
I have never seen any other projects using clojurescript and don't know much about clojure/clojurescript, so this may be a silly question, but what is it about clojure/clojurescript that makes it the choice for these roam clones? Or is it just that everyone is reverse engineering the Roam code??

Author here. I started it as a side project to have a local-first, org-mode outliner web app to use on my phone. I chose Clojure/Clojurescript because I'm more familiar with both compared to Javascript/Typescript. Several things I like a lot about Clojure/Clojurescript:
Data-Oriented Programming, all three (logseq, roam, athens) use Datascript, which is an in-memory database and Datalog query engine.
REPL (as other lisp languages)
Clojure is very stable, I can run all my old projects without any issues.
Also, I don't reverse engineering the Roam code(it'll cost more time for us), Logseq is hugely inspired by Roam Research, Org Mode, TiddlyWiki, Workflow.
