Even though I have no experience with db queries, there was something I wanted to do in #Logseq so I worked really hard on an advanced query. It took me all day but I won and it works and I know how it works so I can change it if I want. #programming
It involved asking for help and crying and gathering myself back together and trying again and I would appreciate some positive feedback about doing a hard thing please. @adhd@actuallyautistic
I have been trying to write out why #Tana works for me when I have been an #obsidian user for three years, and I think I have hit upon identifying why - it has to do with the different sizes of the thoughts. A description of what Tana does for me, reflections on what this means for the theory of what we are trying to solve with #pkm and #PersonalThoughManagement especially then, and what it means for #toolsForThought design...
@spinningthoughts :ablobwave: I think your essay is great. I love using @tana_inc as well as @obsidianmd & @logseq . While #LogSeq is primary, I understand that I can get certain things done more efficiently in other apps. It's not as if I can store any files in Tana. I use Tana to help manage specific tasks/actions. It's great. I have recently started using it for certain notes. None of these apps can replace each other and the "all or nothing" approach some people have is confusing. @pkm
I've switched my #task management system from #Todoist to #Obsidian and back several times over the past year.
And now I have a confession to make. I think I have chosen, and my choice is Todoist...
@msemochkin@Colman@seo11@obsidianmd i was pretty sceptical of the idea too, especially if you have (fantastic!) single-purpose task managers like Things. But honestly: I haven’t used Things in a while, i collect reference material and take notes in #Logseq anyway, so it seems actually unintuitive to move tasks to another app. I also do a lot less task micromanagement now.
Anyone else using #obsidian for notes or documentation? I've been toying with it personally and tuning up some ideas for my next term starting this week. What plugins have you found useful as an IT professional?
I'm a solo #sysadmin with a fallback #msp. Agent facing documentation in my ITSM is a process (rightfully so) to edit and update, but is slow to search if I can't find it straight away.
@Pantsu@dapprvilln I’ve never heard of #LogSeq before, having settled on #Obsidian (even though I’m not a closed-source fan) after trying a number of #Markdown#PKM apps. I’m going to try it out this morning, so glad I saw this thread!
@punko@Pantsu maybe the #LogSeq regulars can better clarify this. But from my initial reaction, when I imported the 'graph' that was my existing #obsidian 'folder', it simply parsed all of the notes as pages and didn't offer any out of the box structure to the notes that I had with Obsidian. That was my biggest hangup - expecting them to be equals in that regard.
I'm sure a plug-in exist, and maybe that's part of the mindset difference I'm not getting between the two platforms - that maybe LogSeq is meant to be simply a journal where you outline and take notes and use tags or search/links to reference data in a meaningful way. I'm still a newbie at this markdown mindset.
I have it in mind to categorize Obsidian into folders for specific items, like projects, documentation, templates, etc.
@alxlg@punko@Pantsu I used #LogSeq exclusively from scratch today and started with the videos on their website from #OneStutteringMind. I still need to watch the last half of the series tomorrow. But if the mindset of blocks and outlines applies to Obsidian as well, then I went in with the wrong approach and today's learning and practice was worthwhile regardless of the platform.
I can see how it will be useful even without all the fancy plugin support Obsidian has. Still, I found some useful, but not until I was using the system in a barebones fashion.
@dapprvilln@alxlg@punko@Pantsu@obsidianmd#Obsidian and #Logseq are fundamentally different. Files and prose are first-class citizens in Obsidian; blocks and outlining are first-class citizens in Logseq. Both approaches have strengths and limitations. Some people use them both, but for different things.
#Logseq has a 'demo graph', where you can open your local graph in the browser. Does anyone know if there's a way to do the same, or something similar, in #Obsidian?
I'd like to be able to open certain pages, in the browser, for quick access and or editing.
