I looked into the git plugin and Working Copy, but the app price pushed me to support the Logseq team. I’m totally cool paying for apps, though $25 isn’t a trivial cost for an experiment, and I just figured I could put that money toward the development of the app I want versus a third party workaround, for lack of a better word.

I do appreciate that it works with git though, and I’m tempted to try it out just for a fun weekend project.

Are there any plugins you’d recommend for Logseq?

Logseq is pretty similar to Obsidian, and it’s FOSS. It’s still really young, but I’ve enjoyed using it more than Obsidian for my personal note taking style. It’s block-based and focused on daily journals, so instead of folders of individual notes the tags/references become interlinked pages. It’s been cool to see my daily logs become a web of concepts. Syncing is a new function they’re adding for supporters, but it can be done with Syncthing if you’re nasty.

It’s definitely a different way of note taking than Keep or Joplin and maybe not for everyone, but I hope I’m at least doing it justice and piqued someone’s curiosity!

This is fascinating, thanks so much for sharing!

ATP has a lot of Apple talk, but the hosts fit the bill you describe as I’m pretty sure they’re all left of center. Not that politics come up a lot, but there certainly aren’t any off-color jokes. ATP’s John Siracusa hosts another podcast with Merlin Mann called Reconcilable Differences, and Merlin Mann hosts another I like called Back to Work, and they talk a lot about tech as well. Neither is a strictly tech podcast but I enjoy them all the same.

I’m not on Mastodon a lot, but when I go I like to use Phanpy.social as a PWA. Feels a smooth as a native app and looks great.

I use the stock Reminders app with Remind Faster. Makes it sooo easy to add basic reminders and to add things to a shopping list in Reminders.

For thought collection/idea making I usually start with Drafts. It’s so much more powerful than I expected without being at all sluggish.

If it becomes a bigger idea or a project I move to Obsidian, though I’m looking to move to Logseq for an open-source option. Obsidian’s newer mind map feature is pretty sweet, and replaced Mindmeister for me. Granted, I don’t make extensive maps, but it’s nice to just think in a graphical context from time to time.
