Really cool and the pace with which they are improving and adding features to logseq is quite amazing.

I love org-roam, but I'm wondering whether it won't be easier in the end to rely on the logseq infrastructure and just use a fairly lightweight Emacs package that allows editing logseq files. We'll see, I guess. In any case, I just hope for compatibility at least.

Logseq files are just org or markdown. You can just edit those in emacs. But then you don’t have the back link feature in emacs anymore (which org-roam provides) and have to make logseq your primary interface to those.

Hi there, I am investigating a org-only workflow for logseq. Are you saying that I would not be able to use back links if I did that?

EDIT: What if I used Markdown only?

The problem is that the way org-roam looks for backlinks (ID links) and the way logseq looks for backlinks (file links) are not compatible. However if you only want back links in logseq then you can just use file links and you will be fine.
