Logseq — source summary
An open-source “privacy-first … platform for knowledge management and collaboration”
that stores notes as plain Markdown / Org-mode files. Delivered via Telegram (chased
as the Logseq PKM-tools gap). README in raw/logseq.md.
What the source says
- Explicitly prioritizes privacy, longevity, and user control — your notes are local plain-text files (Markdown or Org-mode), not locked in a proprietary store.
- Knowledge management, collaboration, PDF annotation, task management; a growing plugin/theme ecosystem; mobile apps.
- A newer DB version (SQLite-backed “DB graphs”) plus RTC (real-time collaboration) is in beta/alpha — note the README warns “data loss is possible” at that stage.
Place in the wiki’s lineage
Logseq is the clearest convergence of the two strands this wiki traces: the networked-thought UX of roam-research (it’s widely known as the open-source, local-first Roam alternative — block outliner, bidirectional links, daily journals) and the own-your-plain-files ethos of tiddlywiki5 and the llm-wiki pattern. Its “privacy / longevity / user control + Markdown files” stance is essentially the LLM-wiki’s substrate choice (a wiki is plain markdown you own), and a peer to obsidian. A zettelkasten descendant with a personal knowledge-graph.
Honesty note: the README emphasizes KM / privacy / plain-file ownership; it does not itself describe the block-outliner, bidirectional links, or daily-journals features — those are attributed to general knowledge of Logseq, not this source.
