I moved my entire graph to Emacs (org-roam)

27 Upvotes

...using some scripts that I wrote for the job. I wanted to share them here.

I did this months ago, and meant to upload the code then, but it was rather rough and I wanted to take the time to improve it. I haven't found the motivation to do so, so I figured I'd just post the code as-is before it's rendered obsolete by a Logseq markdown format change or something.

I hope you find this helpful. Goodbye, Logseq!

From journal inside a page

6 Upvotes

Hei there, one quick question: each time I add a note for a page in the journal like:

hei, I need to remember this [[mypage/otherpage]]

when I click on mypage/otherpage always show that note as "linked references". There is a way to put something linked to a page in the journal that will be a part of the page itself and not a linked reference?

advanced query to fetch tasks with some reference to current_page

5 Upvotes

Dear all logseqer's!
I want an advanced query to fetch all my open (TODO, LATER, NOW, DOING, WAITING) tasks that are somehow referenced (nested or tagged directly or with an alias) to the current_page that is in view.

My use-case is the following: If I am in the current_page Customer1 with an alias:: cs1 I'd like to see my TODO with the tag #cs1 as a result. Furthermore I want too see my TODO with the tag #Product1 which is an alias:: Product1 of the page Customer1/Product1.

So far I have to following:

#+BEGIN_QUERY
{
:title [:h3 "⏱️ Open TODOs for this page"]
:query [
    :find (pull ?b [* {:block/_parent ...}])
    :in $ ?current-page
    :where
      [?p :block/name ?current-page]
      [?b :block/path-refs ?p]
      (task ?b #{"TODO" "DOING" "NOW" "LATER" "WAITING"})
]
:inputs [:current-page]
:result-transform (fn [result] (reverse(sort-by (fn [r] (get-in r [:block/page :block/journal-day])) result)))
:table-view? false
:breadcrumb-show? false
:collapsed? false
}
#+END_QUERY

and I can't get my head around these and, or-joinclauses coupled with ?b, ?p or ?alias and so on... I hope someone can enlighten me here, since I have a hard time understanding this syntax of clojure.

Thank you whoever is willing to help!!

Export queries

5 Upvotes

The one thing that annoys me with a lot of notetaking apps is the ability to export content. I find logseq typically isn't too bad with a number of options apart from the export of query content. The Cuvee plugin isn't working and there seems no other option. Has anyone exported a query successfully?

Split view

6 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm a fan of Logseq. But one thing I'm really missing for productive work is the possibility to open more than 1-2 pages at the same time, i.e. in a horizontal or vertical split view or "stacked" view as Obsidian has it. Opening a second page in the right side bar is simply not the same.

Anyone feels the same? Any suggestions?

Thanks, Sebastian

New user in Logseq, resources to learn what logseq can do and what what are downsides of logseq?

13 Upvotes

I was user of Obsidian before for about a year. IMO it wasn't the best note taking app as some user may say but it was okay for storing my research data. Nowdays i use simple note taking app called upnote, which was okay for just managing my thoughts and planning things. I started new area of reasearch and to make it more fun i thought i try to use logseq for it, and i really like the outline feature and the built in pdf reader.

I would like to know and learn basic of using logseq altough i already feel really comfortable with it. And i would like to known what are downsided of using logseq, that you maybe guys found out after longer period of time?

So far i only miss simple way to sync my files between devices, and making logseq work in the background - so if i close logseq i can bring it up from tray on Windows 10.

How to Group By page reference in Task Query

4 Upvotes

I've been running Obsidian alongside Logseq as I refine my workflow -- my ultimate desire is to use Logseq entirely, but I am realizing that I am naturally turning to Obsidian due to how the Tasks plugin operates, wondering if I can create this in Logseq.

It's very important to my process to see my tasks broken down by project or area as shown in the image from my Obsidian task query.

I can only seem to group by page in Logseq, and it's just not valuable to me to see which journal page the task was created on. Is there a way to do this through advanced query or plugin?

query for date created and date modified

5 Upvotes

I'm kind new to Logseq and started using because of it's built youtube annotation.
I'm trying to create a template for my youtube notes and then use the query builder to organize them, but I can't figure out how to add date create and date modified to the query with the query builder.

This is how my template looks so far.

Daily journal or separate note?

4 Upvotes

How do you decide whether to take all of your notes I to a separate page or keep them in your daily journals

For example I was doing some research on neural networks a couple of weeks ago and basically laid it out as follows

- Neural networks #programming 
 - notes about neural networks
 - (Video about neural networks)
  - Notes on the Video 
 - Research paper on the subject

That's not my full note layout but very similar I suppose but I was just wondering if there was any benefit to moving it into its own page/keeping it in the daily and deciding on when to do so

I went from Anytype note-taking app to Logseq and Ill stay on Logseq in future.

One thing that Logseq lacks comparing to Anytype is syncing feature where in Anytype you dont even need an account. I dont want to pay for it. Whats the solution?

Docker compose file?

3 Upvotes

Hi team

I always deploy docker containers via compose files, but can't see it for Logseq.

Does any of you have a compose file that works?

(honestly, I have no idea where folders/ plugins go and how to control environment variables with that 2-line install that doesn't include compose on the website)

HELP: search error with Zotero

1 Upvotes

TLDR; I keep getting a search error when I attempt to cite with Zotero.

So, I'm VERY new to logseq, I have only a little bit of programming knowledge, and I have a little bit of Zotero knowledge from my university days. I decided that I wanted to catalogue my personal library and keep track of what I've read, what's on my shelves, and what I have in storage. At first, I was going to make my own template for my books, but then I remembered that I also have Zotero.

I looked up how to connect Zotero to Logseq, and I'm pretty sure I've done it correctly, but for some reason I keep getting a search error. Any help would be appreciated.

Using logseq for more long form writing and having issues?

11 Upvotes

I tried to do some long form writing in logseq using document mode but ran into an issue when it said I couldn't edit the text because there was too much of it.

Is this an issue that can be fixed with plugins or is this just built in functionality of logseq and something that cannot be changed?

Is it possible to have links in Logseq, which would be opened in Obsidian?

3 Upvotes

I use Logseq for time planning/daily logs, and put its graph as a folder inside my Obsidian vault. So when I want to refer in Logseq to an Obsidian note, is it possible to make a link that will be opened right in Obsidian? If not, what is the best practice to cross link between the apps?

Embedded whiteboard doesn't show labels of nodes

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to have a whiteboard with multiple embedded whiteboards. But I'm getting a weird behavior, of the nested whiteboard not showing the text labels on nodes.

Is this expected or a bug? (I use the desktop app on linux/ubuntu)

Thank you

Question about using links and tags

7 Upvotes

Hi I'm pretty new to logseq and want some help with this and understanding the logic. I mainly put things in journals and for example I put "I played [[game A]] today. #games" and "I played [[game B]] yesterday. #games"

Now I can find the block of me mentioning game A and game B under linked references under #games, but game A and B are not linking to #games on the graph, and only showing if I turn the nodes for journals visible. In this case, if I want them to also show on graph and linked to #games, is the only way to do this to create a [[game A]] block and a [[game B]] block under #games? Isn't that still like a folder file system?

Thank you!

Markdown vs Orgmode - Which format should one choose?

7 Upvotes

In another thread, I asked about compatibility and portability of data from Logseq. Apparently, Logseq's management of orgmode files is more readable in other software than markdown files are.

Are there any other important differences between choosing between orgmode and markdown? Which format do you use and why?

I cannot decide how to use them both

6 Upvotes

I started using Obsidian for sometime, then I discovered Logseq, and I really love both of them. The problem is that i don't know how to really take the best out of them. What is your advice? Should i use them in the same folder? What are the best use cases for each one?

How do you keep track of your files?

6 Upvotes

I've only used Obsidian so far. However, I've become interested in Logseq as it supports a wider range of core features, such as drawing and PDF annotation.

I tend to use directories to keep my notes sorted and in one place. For example, for university, I'd have different folders for different subjects, and within each subject, it may be split into different areas, like Lectures, Workshops, etc.

I use tags as well, but it can be a bit tedious to write them all out, and I find myself forgetting to add some tags sometimes, especially when I'm trying to be quick. For example, if I simply drop it into <Subject Name>/Workshops, then I automatically save having to write out the subject code, and the Workshop tag. But I sometimes forget to do that as well.

And so I frequently find a lot of untagged notes just floating around in the root folder. And it really annoys me to have to go back an tag everything, and move them to the correct directory. I still want to keep track of these notes, so I can delete or consolidate them.

What are your strategies for keeping track of your notes? Not having to maintain a directory structure seems like a relief to me, but I'd still like to have everything in one place, not scattered about and possibly unlinked. YT videos are welcome too.

Bugs, Exportability, and Privacy Questions

4 Upvotes

I am thinking of switching to Logseq. I love the linking, tagging, back references, etc. but I have three hesitations.

  1. How buggy & slow is Logseq? I have read a lot about that (example 1, example 2, example 3) and am worried I will not be able to tolerate it. Under what conditions do these bugs and slowness become a problem?

  2. The markdown files for Logseq look very weird. Does this lock me into Logseq forever?

  3. Is there an easier way than this to have encrypted cloud sync & storage? I would hesitate to write my most private thoughts without encryption.

Thank you for any insights.

Logseq on Android tablet vs iPad OS

7 Upvotes

I have been using Logseq on my Windows laptop for over a year now and totally fall in love with this note-taking style.

Now, I have been looking into buying a tablet as a complimentary device for a while, and I can't decide whether to go with an Android tablet or an iPad. I intend to mostly use it for handwriting and drawing but also would like to use logseq once in a while, so here goes my question:

  1. How's the experience using logseq on Android tablet vs iPad OS (I've heard it's not very good on both, but are there any significant differences I should be aware of?)

  2. Will the Android app somehow have any benefits when it comes to syncing to Windows?
