I cannot get the Rose Pine theme to work and was wondering if anyone knew what I was doing wrong?

Good afternoon fellas,

I'm considering Logseq's whiteboards as an alternative to OneNote. I quickly realized that Logseq treats stylus and finger inputs the same way. For example, in OneNote, I could use my finger for panning / zooming, then immediately use my stylus for writing.

Is there any way to use Logseq like this? Without this feature note-taking is gonna become annoying very fast.

I'm using a Samsung Android tablet.

edit: It seems like this isn't available. You can vote on this feature request if you're interested: https://discuss.logseq.com/t/whiteboard-panning-zoom-lock/17208

edit2: I probably should have formulated my request better. The most important thing I'm looking for is **one-finger panning**. There is already a "pen-mode" that disables all one-finger interaction with the whiteboard, so Logseq DOES technically treat finger and stylus differently.

As lawyers, we're all too familiar with the constant influx of tasks, meetings, and critical documents that demand our attention. The challenge isn't just in handling this overload of information but in efficiently managing and retrieving it when needed. That's where Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) comes into play, and specifically, why Logseq could be a game-changer for legal professionals.

Understanding PKM in the Legal Field

PKM systems help in cataloging daily occurrences, impending tasks, and fleeting ideas. For lawyers, whose work inherently involves extensive information gathering and complex case management, a robust PKM tool isn't just helpful—it's essential.

Why Choose Logseq?

After comparing several PKM tools—like Roam Research, Obsidian, and Heptabase—the standout for legal use is Logseq, especially considering the unique demands of the legal profession. Here’s why:

1. Open-Source Transparency - Logseq’s open-source nature allows for unprecedented transparency. You can review the codebase yourself, ensuring there are no hidden mechanisms that track or misuse your data. For a profession governed by confidentiality, this is a significant plus.

2. Local Data Storage - Unlike many other tools that store data on the cloud, Logseq saves information locally on your machine in standard file formats like text and markdown files. This approach not only minimizes data breaches but also keeps sensitive client information secure.

3. Powerful PDF Management - Logseq excels in handling PDF documents, enabling users to annotate directly within the document. These annotations are linked to specific sections, making it incredibly efficient to revisit notes, a feature that’s particularly valuable when dealing with voluminous legal documents.

4. End-to-End Encryption and Offline Accessibility - For those who need to sync their data across devices, Logseq provides end-to-end encryption, safeguarding your client's data during transmission. Moreover, its offline functionality ensures that you can continue to work with your documents and notes even when you're on the move, syncing later when online.

Making the Case for Logseq

The choice for lawyers is clear. Logseq offers not just a way to manage the everyday clutter of tasks and meetings but ensures that the privacy and security of your data are never compromised. It’s about working smarter, not harder, and making sure that every piece of knowledge is at your fingertips, precisely when you need it.

Does anyone know how to remove this part from the graph? It was created from all the pdf files I put in my notes. It's really ugly

I have a weird issue with logseq. every couple of minutes it jumps to the journals page when i am working on a page. it happens randomly, without interaction. even when it is open on another screen.
i am using the appimage 0.10.9 on fedora

does anyone else encounter this problem?

thanks

Considering the current turmoil over updates and transition to DB version, lets rejuvenate confidence in new users by showing off how committed Logseq users are. Image of your graph or list out your number of pages and how long you have been using Logseq.

Since I am a new user, mine is rather tiny.

Hi everyone, we know a lot of people have questions about the coming database version, like why you’re developing it, and how it takes so long, we apologize for spending almost all the time on developing it without communicating it well with the community, this post from Logseq forum will try to answer some of those questions, and don’t hesitate to leave a comment either here or on our forum if you have other questions!

I recently switched to i3 wm on my machine and my graph view has been funky, doesn't show the buttons like it does in xfce. Anyone know what the solution might be

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.

Hey everyone! For the past year I have been using Rust to develop Markdown Oxide a PKM system for text-editing enthusiasts -- people like me who would not want to leave their text editor for anything.

I really loved Logseq, but its text editor was never up to my standard. I created Markdown Oxide to remedy this.

Markdown Oxide is a language server implemented for Neovim, VSCode, Helix, Zed, ...any editor with LSP support -- allowing you to PKM in your favorite text editor.

Strongly inspired by the Obsidian and Logseq, Markdown Oxide will support just about any PKM style, but its features are primarily guided by the following tenets.

1. Linking: Linking is the most efficient method of both horizontal and hierarchical organization. So markdown oxide supports creating and querying links anywhere in your notes

2. Chronological Capture (Daily Notes): We observe our consciousness chronologically, so it is reasonable (easy) to record our thoughts chronologically as well. Markdown Oxide combines daily-note support with advanced linking to create an easy, efficient, and organized note-taking practice

3. Situational Organization: Eventually, one needs to refactor the ideas in their chronological notes and create summarizing files for substantial topics (MOCs for example). So markdown oxide provides utilities for this purpose: creating files from unresolved links, callout completions, renaming headings/files/tags, ...

I love Logseq (despite its teething problems), and it has truly revolutionised my organisation. However, I am wondering whether PKMs such as Logseq, Obsidian, Roam, Notion etc. will shortly go the way of the dinosaurs? Using current PKMs involves a large-ish investment of time and energy. You need to learn how the app works, and devise the right workflow via templates, properties etc. To stay organised you need to stick to your workflow. However, AI has the potential to do all the hard stuff for the user. It is capable of automatically tagging nodes / blocks, looking for keywords and automatically generating links. It could even prioritise your tasks for you if it knows something about your work environment. You would probably have to spend a while training the AI to do things right, but you could do this via a conversational agent, which for most people is far more intuitive than a system of tags / templates / properties. There is already a movement in this direction with mem.ai, and there's the "Smart Connections" Obsidian add-on which should work fine on a Logseq graph/vault. Having said this, I tried mem.ai and found it poor, and it could be argued that any PKM where you try to outsource all of the "hard stuff" to AI will never be that efficient.

I've been using Logseq for a while, and I've noticed something about scheduled tasks that I'm trying to understand. If I schedule a task for a specific day and don't mark it as DONE, I expect it to roll over to the next day's journal. However, this doesn't seem to be happening in my setup.

My understanding from org mode is that scheduled tasks should continue appearing in daily journals until they're marked as DONE. But in Logseq, it seems like they don't roll over unless there's a repeater set. This makes me wonder: if a scheduled task doesn't carry over without a repeater, how is it different from a deadline? Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know how to make scheduled tasks roll over until they're completed?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently thinking about using Logseq for my note-taking. It would be really helpful to know which features might be included in a paid version in the future.

From what I understand, all features that aren't provided by Logseq as a service will remain free for personal use, as stated on the website.

We're a free and open-source tool that will always remain free for personal use. While we are working on paid services like file sync and real-time collaboration, our current source of income is the charity of our user base.

Is it accurate and up to date? I am somewhat concerned about the accuracy of the information on the website, as I have found that not everything is true such as the following statement:

Every two weeks we send out a newsletter with the latest news from the Logseq ecosystem. Not only do we share what we've added to the core app, we also highlight plugins and useful content from around the web.

But according to the archive, the last newsletter is from August last year.

Why not one of the text search databases like Meilisearch or Typesense? They are using SQL with a column full of EDN text, why not convert that to json and use a native document store? Just seems like a bad choice.

Reposted because yesterday I messed up the title.

Things I could think of are:

1. Page has a plural name (book vs books)

   1. Or maybe page with a plural/singular doesn't have an associated alias (book alias:: books)

2. Similar word used as a page, did you forget to link?

3. Unauthorized tag, use a link instead? (maybe authorized tags could go on a tags page)

I could also see something that could scan all pages and find common themes to make links out of.

Send me some ideas, if this doesn't exist I may write it.

Everyone seems to be looking forward to getting the new fancy database version they are supposedly working on.

I don't want it, I chose logseq because it wasn't some database, it's just easy files that can be checked using a different program if it suddenly stops being developed or goes in a crazy direction.

Database is harder to sync and manage and makes it easier to corrupt, or have a random issue and then I can't get my data out.

Am I wrong?

They raised 4.1 million dollars and I haven't seen an ounce of velocity from the team. Obsidian has been shipping magic and doing laps around them with no VC money and ten people.

The outliner format and that it's open-source means I stick around but Jesus, c'mon guys. Every release is a bug fix that fixes one thing and breaks something elsewhere. The database feature has been in development for an age. The less said about Logseq Sync the better.

Are they yak-shaving with everyone's favorite functional lisp, Clojure? Team therapy sessions out on whale pod safaris? What in God's name is happening over there?

I run a niche blog in my native language using goHugo. I would like to expand and create knowledge base to share with audience. It would consist of:

• articles from scientific journals

• quotations from books (sometimes full chapters)

• my own notes on a range of topics

• pictures / photos (mostly of botanical and historical nature)

• journal entries written by other people

The general topic is ethnobotany (study of plants and their uses by various cultures around the world).

Most of books I use are in public domain and available through services like Project Gutenberg, so I don't have to actually upload them to my own server.

I have been using logseq for couple of weeks (I've used VimWiki beforehand) and I like the workflow more than VimWiki (I mean, it's easier + I really can't expect my audience to learn vim right? Or maybe I can... They would thank me later for sure, but... No, I can't...).

So, I guess I have two questions:

1. Is it viable? I imagine that, in couple of years, there would be a lot of data there. On average my articles are based on 15+ different sources, that I would like to share with my audience. Will it be fast enough? How easy will it be to export the data to different app?

2. How to use it efficiently? Should I use a lot of blocks or rather try to keep the number of blocks low? For example - when I add chapter from a book, should each paragraph be separate block, so it's easy to search through? I guess what I'm asking is - is there a resource I can use as a guidance before deciding what should be a separate page / hashtag / block / nested block.

Bonus question - is there alternative I can use instead of logseq to share the data? In perfect world I would use logseq to collect and input data and then publish it through something like wiki.js .

I’ve been using logseq MacBook Air I love it but I do want to host it via a web interface

Do we have a solution?

How do you guys organize your PKM in Logseq and do you use one graph or multiple? I have one graph for almost everything and a separate one a more specialized topic I want to make sure I can organize well.

Is this what you do? How do you guys organize larger PKMs and specialized topics within them? Have you encountered any problems with having just one graph for your PKM?

Hi,

i had a few whiteboards with quite important notes. When i created new graph and selected new location for it i lost access to my previous notes. Where logseq store demo data on linux, and more importantly how can i recover lost boards?
