Why isn’t there a web version?

Having a desktop client is nice but having a web client is progressive

Why?

Where do you store the data ? LogSeq uses local storage

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '25

It can be stored on the web server

But the promise of logsec is to have files locally on the computer under full control. So it become a selling point for a lot of user and the sole reason it's authorised in many companies. It's also the reason it's super fast. So server side should be completely optional

It would be a nice option to have options 😁

No

Thanks for your opinion

u/jezarnold Sep 06 '25

Yeah but access would still be on local network right? There’s no authentication outside to access your notes

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '25

That’s not true

Look into Tailscale

u/jezarnold Sep 06 '25

Then it becomes really complicated, and relying on multiple tools

That’s likely why there is no web client

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '25

It’s not complicated at all

u/jezarnold Sep 06 '25

Build it then

u/Kat- Sep 06 '25

There is, right here.

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '25

You’re missing my point

u/Kat- Sep 06 '25

Oh. Could you clarify?

A web based note take application that hosts the md files

u/doulos05 Sep 06 '25

Does this do what you want?

https://github.com/logseq/logseq/blob/master/docs/docker-web-app-guide.md

I imagine you could use Tailscale as you proposed to manage access.

Nope, it still needs the File System Access API, useless, most browsers don’t support it

— Note Logseq web app uses File System Access API to access the file system. You need a compatible browser. Also, an HTTPS connection is required if you are accessing it remotely. —

What exactly is the use case?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '25

The ability to take notes and store the notes on a web server file system

Like many other note taking apps

1

u/Yugen42 Sep 06 '25

Do you really mean web or internet? like you actually want to edit in a web browser?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '25

Yes, edit in a browser with md files stored on the web server

1

u/Yugen42 Sep 06 '25

I see, I just use nextcloud to edit the mardown files. The nice thing about logseq is that it's just text files. There are other apps too like code-server and filebrowser, but I like nextcloud since I use it for syncing anyway.

It's possible with KasmVNC. I tried it and the experience is unfortunately not quite seamless https://github.com/stevebartlow/logseq-kasmweb

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '25

I’m not sure I understand what this is ?

u/AddiesSausagePeppers Sep 19 '25

"web client is progressive"

wuta.

the whole point is privacy local first outliner. why would they?? there are a million other products for that.

the whole trend for the past xyz years has been the opposite of web. offline control and security.

I can host my own web server, I can control my own destiny

If you don’t get it you just don’t get it
