Logseq is more opinionated than Obsidian: - It's an outliner, meaning you don't have paragraph but collapsible block. - It's focused on journaling. The default view when you open the app is a journal that's internally a list of all `<date>.md` (today's file is automatically created). - Backlink are built-in instead of being a plugin (albeit an official one). It's automatically displayed at the bottom of the page, meaning I can have a [[SecretProject]] page and have a list of all relevant blocks/page in one go (in LogSeq, all tags are regular pages, so I put a #SecretProject page in the top of my page) - Obsidian ecosystem is massively bigger - LogSeq is FOSS (AGPL), Obsidian is not. I cannot (or rather, should not) use Obsidian at work (but nothing mechanically prevents you), so I'm using LogSeq. - I'm not clear about LogSeq funding
