Logseq breaking-in: First actual use and I'm lovin' it!

The gravitational pull of Logseq

Markmap plugin

Thanks to Dario da Silva's free YouTube introductory videos for demonstrating this wonderful visualization of the hierarchical nature of Logseq as a terrific outliner.

In just three days, my learning and using of Logseq accelerated. Look at this chart for just today. It's mainly notes I took from watching PKM videos. Very meta. I positively love it!

Long-form writing

The very last video I just watched is about a hack of promoting long-form writing in Logseq, which I consider to be yet lacking in LQ without native support. I am kind of sold on the idea of using the focus mode plugin plus the built-in document mode as illustrated in the video. With that, I think the barrier for long-form is largely removed, leaving me with pure admiration of LQ's block-based approach, which is turning out to be more granular and structured than page-based, and is way more conducive to future enhancement of LQ as a database app like Tana and notion. This development is very unlikely for Obsidian. That said, I am feeling a strong gravitational pull toward LQ as the go-to note-taking app for everything, even including long-form writing.

Todo

#todo What I have yet to do:

• Study the page markdown files more closely.
• Learn about publishing pages from LQ. This may turn out to be crucial if not a dealbreaker.
