Loved the effort and concept that went into designing Logseq.

The reason I don't use it: when creating notes, if one doesn't use hashtags etc. properly (and spell them correctly), one would pretty much never be able to retrieve the snippet.

I loved the idea of Logseq, but as of this writing, "logseq data loss ${year}" still shows people losing large numbers of notes on a regular basis. I don't trust it with my information.
I use Logseq and never had a problem with data loss so I did that search. Looks like the problem with data loss is a problem with people using sync. I don't use Logseq Sync and just backup my markdown folder to a cloud storage using any number of third party tools like Syncthing.
Ironic that: "you're data's probably safe as long as you don't pay extra to sync it".

Does Syncthing work decently on iOS? I'm using iCloud Drive for such things today.

Shots fired
No shots intended, I swear it! Logseq is really nice and I liked it a lot when I tried it. However, the bug reports in the forums kept me from seriously considering it. For now at least I just keep my notes in a synced folder of Markdown docs and maintain them with a regular editor.
