Hard Road - memandu kereta di jalan sukar

Great alternative to Obsidian or other local storage note taking apps. I use the sync feature with multiple devices: laptop, desktop, tablets, phones. works great. The only issue would be that the iPhone app is maybe not as polished as other native apps… sometimes the keyboard does not open when you click somewhere, and when it opens it the screen sometimes jumps up the page… but not too much trouble .

I really wanted to love Logseq, but the learning curve is brutal. The interface feels unintuitive, especially on mobile, and basic actions like navigating between pages or editing blocks are clunky and inconsistent. Even after watching tutorials, I still find myself getting lost or stuck. I get that it’s powerful for some, but the user experience needs serious refinement before it can be considered accessible to the average user. Grateful that it’s free and works pretty well on my MacBook.

Sync sometimes likes to duplicate a ton of text in entries, forcing me to manually delete all the extra duplicates (and I pay monthly for this “service”). Half the time tapping on the text to make edits doesn’t bring up the editor bar (for indents, etc.). Highlighting bulleted lists only allows selection for a single bullet (tap and drag selection doesn’t seem to span a list of bullets), making deleting duplicated data from the previous sync issues a stupidly tedious chore. Sometimes when I write things in parentheses it likes to insert an extra one at the beginning, just to be particularly unhelpful. I want to like the app but the poor usability and lack of polish is really disappointing. So many UX bugs and the app hasn’t been updated in almost exactly 1 year.

I like the app in spirit, but it just doesn’t function properly on modern versions of iOS. UI elements are truncated in weird ways, hiding items that shouldn’t be.

The UI is glitchy. Editing more than a single line of text is difficult because the cursor is always one or two lines away from where my inserts and deletes actually happen. A whole paragraph may be truncated by sliding underneath an adjacent block of text. Database corruption error messages are increasingly common. Six months is a long time for an application to be without an update yet still be version zero. I prefer to use this product over proprietary apps, but the cost of that is apparently the risk that you'll need to migrate in frustration.

I started with Evernote (along with many Moleskin physical journals) many years ago, then transitioned to Roam around 2020. It always worked reasonably well - but the price was way too expensive for what it was, and I was concerned by the cult-like atmosphere and idiosyncracies of its founder. After trying Notion and Obsidian - which were good products, but never fit my workflow well - I stumbled upon Logseq. It has been a seamless transition from Roam, and offers more features than I'll likely ever need - all for a very reasonable price (free). I do pay for the sync program though, which has never had any issues and is necessary in my opinion. The only issue I have had is: frequently, hitting the "Return" key just moves to a new paragraph, rather than starting a new Block. I hope this will get resolved on the iPad. Logseq works flawlessly on my desktop(s), but I love having the portability of my iPad Pro.

literally unusable

This app sounded to be exactly what I needed. The problem is there are no more instructions, steps or manual to use as a guide - if there I I couldn’t find it 💔

I decided on this for my pkm largely because of your copywriter From one to another ••• ⭐️ 🤌🏼⭐️

I write my notes in a hierarchy manner, same when I am on pen and paper. It understands how I think. And in a way does the thinking for me by connecting notes and graphing them. While others may turn to obsidian, it is just strictly markdown and I can’t / to do commands like notion. To me logseq is the best of both worlds. I wish there was a east solution to sync across devices with a logseq account , it’s currently in beta. Logseq is free and I hope it continues to be. I am so glad this is a open source project. Thank you for making this wonderful app.
