Finally made the switch to Logseq from Roam. Quite straightforward and enjoying the exp. so far. Main downside: really feeling the difference in page / block latency. Used to working in deep nested blocks with lotsa volume. Roam rarely buckled. Logseq seems to struggle often, meaning I have to watch my block depth / volume. https://logseq.com/

switched from Roam so long ago I can't remember that. Also first tried Obsidian. What I noticed with logseq is that once you add extensions it really slows down. The ecosystem of extension is sparser. Sometimes I wonder if I should switch back to Obsidian

Tried Obsidian too. Too file-based for me. I don’t wanna manage files; I wanna vibe in blocks. Good to know—will dodge extensions for the most part! What do you use now? I can’t imagine not having something like RR or Logseq anymore (or even Obsidian).

I actually enjoying Logseq a lot a few years ago (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdvim/www/refs/heads/main/src/pages/blog/30-days-of-logseq.md) but eventually switched to Obsidian. What drew me away from Logseq: - ugly icon - sluggish speeds - smaller plugin ecosystem (I'm not a plugin power user but it's nice knowing where developers are!) - clunky use of markdown files What drew me to Obsidian: - great mobile + desktop sync experience (esp with icloud) - polishing notes there makes it very simple to publish on web - if I need more functionality I can easily hack together a plugin - @kepano is active here but also shares a lot of great insight on writing in general on his site! However if you want block-first and FOSS, check out SiYuan: https://warpcast.com/stevedylandev.eth/0x6fbc2add

I'm still using logseq because of the blocks feature. That's what drove me away from Obsidian. I don't want to think about structure. I'm annoyed at their sync feature. @wanderloots.eth is also another big Obsidian user.
