Logseq

Posting as it may be of interest to Leo users - 

Through the recommendation of colleague, I've been trying Logseq project to collect my working notes.

It's an outliner that stores the tree in markdown files. It supports clones ("block references") which made me think of Leo.

https://docs.logseq.com/#/page/page%20and%20block%20references

The user community seem to have found several ingenious ways to use the outline, for task management, advanced querying etc

I have not exactly been using it for full effect, but the "journal" concept at least seems easy to clone: you just creata a new headline for every day you open the document. By default, all you notes go there until you add a link to something else.

That looks very interesting.  It has some commonality with a zettelkasten, specifically the crosslinking between blocks, and the idea that the blocks should or can be focused on a limited topic.  The querying system is pretty cool (if I were setting it up I might have tried for a more SQL-like syntax). The zettelkasten system I set up in Leo is a little more hands-on for linking and such, and in using it I have found that having Leo's hierarchical tree in parallel with cross-links makes finding things much easier than just using cross-links. The combination of the two is synergistic, I've learned.

My system is built around four commands.  It has a search app that loads into the Log frame, but even without it Leo's Nav pane search can find what you need pretty well.  So basically with the four commands and a little discipline in how you use them you get a zettelkasten system, which has, as I said, the block + cross-link capability that logsec does.

I'll bet that the logsec people have worked out a lot of useful and interesting capabilities.  Some of them could be recreated in Leo if anyone were interested, I'm sure.  It might be useful to have a way for Leo to ingest and and convert logsec blocks for use in Leo.

I already have used Leo for daily work records and time sheet entries for certain projects, so that kind of use seems familiar.

Thanks for the post!
