Review Logseq?
Reviewers largely praise Logseq as a fast, flexible way to capture notes, tasks, and research without worrying about rigid folders. The daily journal, outliner style, backlinks, queries, and PDF annotation come up repeatedly as features that make ideas easier to connect and retrieve. Users also like keeping notes in Markdown and syncing them with tools like Git, iCloud, or Dropbox. The tradeoff is polish: several reviewers mention a learning curve, uneven UI, lag, weak sync, and rough mobile support, especially on Android and iOS.

LogSeq is a bullet point outline style PKM but it works well for writers. It needs audio transcription for capture and drafting — flagged as a new feature but not being seen yet.
From the very beginning I fell in love. UI is simple, and clear. Almost giving everything you need but still there's an option to empower it with extensions. Sync is must-have if you consider working on various devices and it's working without any problem.
In general is one of the most impactful apps I ever used! Truly recommend for anyone!
Ohh and I almost forgot! It's open source and have amazing community!
I tried many Other Apps, to name a few : Notion, Obsidian, Anki, Remnote. Now I settled on Logseq mainly b/c it's FOSS + Notes are in MD files + Got Flashcards & Linking functions. it's not perfect but still I feel Lucky I found it, and the nice thing is that I can sync my Logseq flashcards back to Anki. That's Great , A tool that doesn't just wanna suck subscriptions out of you !! how refreshing ! TYSM

Logseq is excellent for recording notes and ideas and finding connections between them. The way it links between pages is especially helpful. I usually do not have to do any manual organization of pages, yet can still find what I need. Logseq is an awesome tool and I would highly recommend that anyone looking for notetaking, brainstorming, or general life organization software give it a try.
My favourite knowledge management tool. I got hooked on networked note-taking with roam research, then had my time with Obsidian. All these tools are great, but Logseq outperforms everything I tried before. It has all the features I need + simple UI + free to use + open source + a supportive community. I don't know what else to ask for.
Logseq is currently the best outline and knowledge management application I'm aware of, and I tested a bunch. I appreciate the outline-only approach, so you don't have to think about files and organizing in directories and hierarchy, you can just create notes which will get attached to your graph via deep-links, or attach nodes to a date.
Logseq es extraordinario, tiene una corta curva de aprendizaje, y su utilidad es extremadamente buena. Me permite tomar notas y establecer vínculos entre palabras o ideas. Además tiene un conjunto de pluggins que lo optimizan más aún y lo conectan con otras apps. Lo mejor, es GRATIS.
It's open source so it won't be for everyone. The UI is not as slick as other apps like Obsidian, for example. However, if you prefer to write in a true outliner, or you want maximum flexibility, then this is probably the better of the two and is definitely worth looking at.
Excellent application to track almost everything in your life. Having built on Markdown, you're also not locked in. Also being open source, anyone can contribute by adding features, fix bugs and verify no malicious code is being deployed. It also has good plugin ecosystem.

Nice open source app.. Minimum customisation.. User can directly start writing in daily journal notes and can place at there right place.. I heard some user of data loss and speed issue hope developers will fix this.. Didn't find these issue in my course of 3 months
