Just try it out before interpreting their vision (which I totally ignored up until now). It is simply a nice system based on your local markdown files, allowing to easily cross-link notes. It is opinionated but I like that. It follows the bullet journaling approach and has a rudimentary integrated todo system.

I have personally tried many alternatives (obsidian among them) but nothing comes close to what logseq offers _to me_, despite its few shortcomings (it's not a lightning fast implementation, it bugs sometimes).

Hope it helps.

Same. I've tried a dozen different notes options and logseq is the one that has stuck the longest. After screen sharing it at work a little there are now 10 more people using it daily for notes and talking about how it's what they've always been looking for.

Why would you want to try it before interpreting their vision? That's how you trap your data in an app before it turns to garbage.

It uses plaintext markdown files, so I don't think it's too big of an issue.
