I really like Logseq, and I feel it's the only one of the note-taking tools that has the tradeoffs I want (outliner, local-first, focuses on content on a block-by-block basis, has backlinks), and I always keep coming back to it, but recently there's been not much happening, and the mobile app has been slightly broken for me for a while now (when opening a note I often can't add new bullet points, so I end up writing notes in an invalid format).

I'm really looking forward to their db-oriented version which is supposed to be merged into main (here's the long-lived branch[0]) this month. Presumably that will bring the project back up to speed, since that branch is currently almost 4k (!!!) commits ahead of main.

At the same time, I'm a bit worried about how the company is gonna sustain itself. After all they raised quite a bit of money ($4M 2y ago), while at the same time I'm not sure how large a market there is for commercialisation of an open-source PKM app like this. Esp. since it looks like its market-share is maybe ~1/10th that of Obsidian (based on most popular plugin download counts). TFA is kind of related to this.

While Obsidian is great from a sustainability perspective (it seems to me), it unfortunately comes short of being a good outliner.

Been using Syncthing with graphs forever now. Probably will continue using that.

To me this both sounds perfectly reasonable for the Logseq developers to ignore, and for a fork to be made to add it.
