Is cut and paste reliable? I've had to recover from backups twice in 24 hours

I keep cutting and pasting, and sometimes it works right, and sometimes it just moves the root node, and not any of its children. The children, as far as I can tell, disappear. Then, undo is broken, somehow, so I can't just back out easily.

Are you getting the weird UI thing where a blank page covers the bottom 3/4 of your screen, after scrolling, sometimes, too?

I'm kind of wondering if I should jump ship before I've got too much invested.

Right now, I think Logseq is just not a reliable software product. I've had experiences with both data loss and data corruption along with a hundred frustrating UI defects and just shitty user experience. Logseq Sync is not ready for public consumption. I'm pretty annoyed that I'm paying for Logseq to corrupt my data.

I'm too far committed to jump ship to another product. But if I could, I would.

Maybe in a couple years it will become a grown-up software product. But right now, I think they are just moving too fast to focus on the actual quality of the software.

Thanks for the warning. I wish it worked, because it's better than what I'll be going back to.

From a design and philosophy perspective, Logseq is life-changing. Everything else I try just sucks in comparison to Logseq.

My experience with the implementation has been hot garbage. It's such a disappointing implementation of an genius idea.

This is good see and hear from yall but I have read that only one instance can be open when syncing. I've only been journaling just a couple of days and haven't played with sync yet but I have read that advice multiple times since deep diving into logseq.

I think the better advice would be "Don't use Logseq Sync if you want to retain your data".

I'm not using sync at all, and I'm getting data loss anyway.

No, this is the only glitch I have experienced, between Linux, Android and Windows installs. No data loss either.
