LogSeq

Logseq was my primary outline-oriented daily journaling tool. Out of the box, it partitions files into a strict journals/ and pages/ directory structure.

While the outline format itself worked well for me, the software ecosystem became a major bottleneck. The official sync service corrupted my data on more than one occasion, resulting in silent content loss during sync cycles with no logs or revert paths for recovery—and when it comes to personal notes, even a single instance of data loss is too many. Slow update cycles (including a stretch on an insecure Electron version) and mobile app distribution hurdles (manual APK installs) eventually eroded my trust in the syncing pipeline, prompting me to look for robust, git-backed alternatives like Obsidian.

I wrote about this migration and how I parsed Logseq’s block hierarchy in my post: Finding My Perfect PKM Fit: The Journey from Logseq to Obsidian.
