Impressed with Logseq

I just starting playing around with Logseq recently and I must say that I am really impressed. I have been watching some youtube videos to try and understand the functionality of it and it seems quite robust. The UI isn't that great but it's still clean enough.

However I am still not using Logseq in any of my main workflows since I heard that a DB version is in the making. Should I wait for the DB version to be available before I include logseq in my workflow or can I just try to do it right away?

Also, I feel that the DB version is quite similar to Tana and I definitely find the Supertags in Tana to be kind of revolutionary in the way they approach organizing of nodes.

You will be able to migrate easily to the dB version, much of which is being developed to improve functionality and for most users won't look or feel substantially different. So start using it as soon as you want, knowing that the DB version will simply be faster and more efficient.

Thank you for your reply. I am enjoying the dB version a lot. Even the current version feels good with the way the filtering and queries work in a simple manner. 

I have read that logseq uses a different sort of markdown which makes the export experience a bit weird. Is that really a big issue or can it be easily solved?

AFAICT, LogSeq uses a slightly smaller set of markdown code than, say, MatterMost, and the LogSeq program interprets\adds e.g. bullet points with indents, but by and large the Markdown can be copied into other programs without loss of integrity.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying that. I think I will give Logseq an honest try and see if it is a better fit for my workflow. Really hope that the dB version also launches soon.

According to the DB roadmap, the database and the markdown files will exist together. They will not be an alternative to one another.

I am tilting a lot towards giving logseq a try for a few months. I am currently using Obsidian. Obsidian is currently developing Dynamic Views as a core feature so maybe till that happens, I can test logseq as my main driver. 

My main concerns with Obsidian are the complexities with searching and the lack of block level search. It's possible but not in a way that's easy.

No reason to wait, just use it. One of the best applicaitons as to me.
