@rachsmith I'm sure you know this one already but Maggie Appleton's digital garden is just wonderful https://maggieappleton.com/garden

@moira by any chance were you at this event? I was considering going but went to a similar event a few hours earlier https://cascade.org/rides-events/84713

@dhry All in all I suspect you approached Logseq looking at it expecting Obsidian. It's not Obsidian, it is its own product of a similar but different category. #Logseq is strongly suited to ADHD and neurodivergent folks whose thoughts often chaotically change direction and diverge moment to moment.

@dhry Tag aliases and pages. This isn't really reproducible in Obsidian and I think it's a huge downer. Suppose you have a tag, but sometimes you remember it by another name. In Logseq you can give the tag an alias, and also a page to describe the tag. In Obsidian, it's up to you to remember what you mean if you tagged something for a specific reason. Maybe you need all pages tagged #book to be formatted an exact way for Dataview to work - you can give yourself these instructions on a tag page

@dhry Much better out-of-the-box tasks. You can sort of fix Obsidian tasks with plugins, but Logseq's tasks worked quite nicely for me with no plugins at all. TODO/DOING/DONE states, deadlines, recurrence, and you can add context to a task as a child node. And with block referral, I can refer to a task in the diary, without making it an entire note. This is important to me as tasks are often thought of as I write other things

@dhry Infinite scroll diary. Ever since I used Logseq, when I use Obsidian I go batty when I can't just scroll down to go to the previous day

@dhry Here's the equivalent backlink view in Logseq. It also includes a powerful filtering feature , very useful when you have many backlinks

@dhry Much better backlinking. In Obsidian, the backlinks view shows the unformatted text around the link. In Logseq, this view is formatted and also shows the entire block, not just a limited number of text.
