Not being open source is the great… sin for me. Note taking is an investment in the future, and betting on a closed source platform is a big no no—for me, that is.

I know the content is safe in Obsidian, since it’s just Markdown files. But the workflow? Not so much.

And I know the developers behind Obsidian have their reasons to close source it. Nothing against that. But since that’s their way, it’s not my way.

Please, I don’t want to be rude, so don’t take me wrong.

I think that’s not accurate. Trillium is not even an outliner, let alone a block note taking app. I think you’re mixing trillium with Logseq.

My memory may be failing me, but I think trillium has been around longer than Roam Research.

And yes, it’s a great open source note taking app!

Logseq user here too.

However, for a quick, transitory note, I use Kate or, more recently, Xpad. Only then I transcribe the content to Logseq. Why?

Because while Logseq is great as an outliner and for network thinking, it’s as graceful and agile as an elephant.

The gist of what I’m saying is: for now, and for me (hardware might be playing a role here, but I don’t think so) Logseq is a good note database. For quick typing, I have to use something else.

I came here to post something similar, but yours is probably a better suggestion. I’m now fond of beet flavoured water kefir.

Right now I just think about me and how I’ll use it. I’m eager to try this messaging app to have a way of being reachable by like-minded people.

To put it differently, I don’t want to be a slave of others’ choices. I know the network effect is real and that I’m powerless to break it. So I’ll just change my attitude, and embrace this wave. Who knows what will happen? And in the meanwhile, I’ll have fun using what to me seems right.

True. And the way it’s said/written causes a soft perplexity that feels nice.

Now you got me thinking. In my mother tongue, this is not at all perplexing. In order to find out why, I tried a more direct translation from my language to English. Here’s my try:

The picture of me youngest is also my oldest picture.
