  It’s a very, very different approach having everything as a bullet point though.

    Yeah but you learn it and it’s a far more organized approach

      I think for some brains it just doesn’t click. How do you write a long form document? How would you write documentation? How would you write a blog post?

      I tried for a while but I just couldn’t understand the concept of “Everything as an outline.”

        Well I think the first thing is just simply that documents aren’t notes, so you wouldn’t write those things in Logseq.

        What you are writing in Logseq is a zettlekasten, which is just a personal knowledge graph. And in a knowledge graph, everything needs to relate somehow to everything else, that’s why it has to be an outline.

        So things can relate to the journal date they were written on, to their parent and children concepts, and to the links that they contain. Every idea has at least a relationship to the date you wrote it, but hopefully you can link that idea to more than just that relationship.

      I’ve tried logseq for the last 6 months (no commercial license) at work, but while it’s really good for outlining, it’s lack of a tag function is what feels like a critical weakness to me. I realize structurally it’s different in concept. But making everything into bullets doesn’t always suit the task.

      I would love Logseq for journalling or writing though.

        I actually find the lack of distinction between a tag and a wiki link a breath of fresh air. So many other apps make a meaningless distinction between them and make you choose ahead of time a styleguide for how you plan to use both. Logseq makes a query able style enforced and then you adapt to using it. Very different

        Obsidian dev’s original project Dynalist is an outline based notes app that does have tags. She doesn’t update it anymore but I still rely heavily on it as my second brain.

    This is true of Markdown though, no? Which Obsidian runs?

      Markdown has many more elements than bullet points
