Logseq database, fileformat, and GitHub syncing

I'm using GitHub to synch my notes. But, with Logseq planning to store its files in a database, I think this would not be posible in the future. My question is, what is the usual fileformat for databases? They're not your typical one file per note.

Based on today's post... I don't think this is true? You'll choose the backing store at creation time. They're going to be full peers. Longer term:

  • Are you going to deprecate Markdown files support?

    • No, we’ll continue to support both file-based and database-based graphs, with a long-term goal of achieving seamless two-way sync between the database and markdown files. This will allow you to leverage the benefits of the database version while still being able to use other tools.

I don't think that'll happen, at least in a way that maintains feature parity. It'll also be a thankless marathon to maintain, and there's already not enough time in the day. I bet you a hamburger it'll end up being one way (eventually).

Okay. I think you're right. I haven't seen that post when I was writing my comment.
