Author here, thanks for the posting! I've been working it since February, it started as an org-mode web outliner so that I can use it on my phone to check some todos and capture some ideas.

I added some features (backlinks, graph, block embeds, etc.) from Roam Research after trying it. It can be self-hosted and the plan is to have something like TiddlyWiki so that you can use it as a whole HTML file in your own website. The documentation is a read-only version of logseq itself and it's hosted on GitHub pages.

The org mode parser is open sourced too, https://github.com/mldoc/mldoc, most features are already supported, we're working on something like org agenda and org-roam integrations.

Documentation example: https://logseq.github.io/. Any questions or feedback will be appreciated, thank you!

We also have a discord group for logseq, free free to say hi! https://discord.gg/KpN4eHY

I was just about to begin working on something similar, now I'll wait and see how this project goes!

Since I don't like my notes unencrypted in the cloud somewhere with a company deciding whether I may access them or not, I'm going to wait for a 100% self-hosted version.

Thanks and sorry about that! > Since I don't like my notes unencrypted in the cloud somewhere with a company deciding whether I may access them or not, I'm going to wait for a 100% self-hosted version. Totally make sense to me! we'll make it to be used without login with a self-hosted git server.

A bit ironic that you can only login using GitHub and the story today was “Never Use Third Party Auth to Sign In”[1].

This is a really silly criticism of this particular application, given (1) this application's functionality depends on integration with a github account, and (2) that third party auth sign ins is a very common feature, so nothing application specific here.

How does this compare to Obsidian?

[tiensonqin]

Logseq supports both block and page embeds, it has datalog queries and task management from org mode. Another difference is that Obsidian is a desktop app and Logseq is a web app which can be used on mobile too.

I find Obsidian's licensing to be overly expensive if you intend to use it for anything that will generate income.
