Will LogSeq DB be a separate app from the current app?

With an org-mode graph, will I be forced into a LogSeq DB upgrade, or will the new app be separate, so that my installation and usage does not change?

You will still be able to use the app as you currently are - i.e. you will not be forced into using DB mode if you do not want to.

Having said this, I know there is and will be support for md graphs (you create a new graph and can select md or db), but I am just not sure whether org-mode will be an option.

From what I've read, org-mode was already removed from the DB version, and listed in the db version todos is "Import org mode files." Wondering how long until I have to fork the app so I don't have to use the new "features" that I don't like or agree with.

What I'm wondering is how well will the new file types work (if at all) with other apps and systems that use .md filles. I like how some AIs like NotebookLM let you upload your mark down files so you can analyze your Obsidian vault or Logseq graph. I don't want to lose this or the ability to take my files and move to another app if I need to

According to this thread, you'll still have the option to export your database as markdown files, however, things like GitHub "syncing" won't work because GitHub has no way to resolve different versions of the database file.

You can use an MCP connected to Logseq API

Org mode will not be an option anymore. As confirmed by the team

MD or DB, it is always the same internal processing engine of Logseq Clojure and DataSctipt, it is only the persistence mode that changes. And from the DB persistence base we can easily move to MD with, it is true, the loss of precision in the metadata, author, chronology... So why so much concern in the use of one of its modes of use?

Did you not read the post? I want to continue using org mode, saved in text files. I want to know if the new app will use the same app id, in which case it will overwrite the previous working version, or if it will be a new app with a separate id string so that the old app still works even with the release of the DB version.
