thanks for breaking down your workflow and thoughts on this app! Personally I would leverage todoist for the todos themselves. and logseq for essentially my working memory for the day, code snippets and thoughts on what to do next, how to design somthing etc.
for me, when i put todo's in an app like this its only for processing inputs, general management and todo-lists i keep in todoist at all times for centralization
If Logseq continues to stabilize (let's say optimal stability) and you were to start over with your Zettelkasten. What would be your pro's and con's for both Logseq and Obsidian? Which one would be your pick and why? I very much appreciate your content Bryan, thanks a lot!
im actually back on Obsidian completely because Logseq wasnt stable enough for me, and besides being able to edit block references to current page, there's not much logseq has over obsidian for me
@@BryanJenks Being a 3 day old noob and hours of binging on Obsidian videos, this video pumped the brakes a bit because I see a lot of parallels in your tech notes with my own. Then, I read this comment. Double pump-brakes. How has everything been since deciding to stay with Obsidian for the technical notes and research?
I had to disable auto updates because the push frequency/spam was just too high. It means I need to remember to commit manually (and in the current version the indicator doesn't update properly, grrr) but I prefer it the manual way. The syncs/pulls when you have logseq open on multiple machines works pretty well now
the spam is real, i thought the interval metadata would change the frequency but i guess not! It ultimately doesnt bother me too much but its just a little annoying
I've been managing personal knowledge bases on traditional hierarchical notes/documents with alphabetised headers H1-H6. Seems there may be a better way with this binary linking outliner program called Logseq. Not clear yet how I would setup a knowledge base in the Logseq world?
🐄 It deserves a video to update Logseq features and use cases. I am using it now for my daily flow and it has interesting features. Slower when notes increases and problematic to sync between machines. Overall it deserves a try. Please update this. Thanks for this finding and please share your custom CSS Logseq. Looks great!.
Thanks for the nice video. One question, could you share how to import code block like you show in the video? It supposed to super easy like other notes taking.... /python or /code but I could not find at all from Logseq
I believe you can exclude private commits from your GH profile. IMO there is no point to show your number of private commits if nobody can see them. And for this - also looking for something like this. Tried to use Oby daily notes, but I don't like that I don't see my previous day's. Kinda loosing context. When it's like a feed, it feels more natural.
You could very well use obsidian for this. I used Remnote which has a far better outliner. But using outliners after a while you will be clicking, collapsing , expanding all the time. I feel Obsidian's seperate outline is easy on my eyes. Your content is always great. Keep it up. Edit: Back to outliners
"clicking , collapsing and expanding" that is exactly what outliners are for 😂😂 giving your thoughts a hierchy and choosing what to focus on for a adhd brain like mine , that is what we need
@@lowkeyproducktvt2101 I am using remnote for the past 8 months. I even use it as a todo list along with tables and super tags. Works like a charm. What about you ?
@@familia3224 ah! so that comes from making your first bullet a yaml header with the 3 dashes a shift+enter line break, your properties, and an additional 3 dashed under that to sandwich it. Exactly how it appears. been a while since i used logseq so that's based on what i remember
Being someone that spends a lot of time in vscode, I am surprised you don’t use the Foam Plugin for VS Code? I really like the look of logseq but personally I prefer to stay in vscode
@@BryanJenks fair enough, that’s the beautiful thing about this space, that it comes down to what works best for us individually. I have really been enjoying your videos on Obsidian… 👍keep it up
i liked some of the features of logseq like editing block references, the todo system, scheduling system, the web app interface, and honestly just the separation of concerns so that only tech in logseq and only zettelkasten in obsidian
In your video the bullet points of the code block are perfect aligned, but in my case the app inserts a blank line. Do you know why? Or how can I change it? May be with some css code??
not at the moment, but with the properties features and how some the metadata structure works in here it could easily be used for that to great benefit
@@BryanJenks yes i found those to be great! Considering the switch as obsidian can be a bit of a rabbit hole for me, and i end up messing with plugins, rather than taking notes
i was learning for a little while, got up to 80-90wpm but i type faster without touch typing at the moment and i code for a living so i dont really need the typing speed much
Bryan have you ever tried Dynalist? For tech notes it's very powerful. It costs (7$ months) but it's very powerful. I've been using it from 2 years now

Hi Bryan. I signed up for your News letter, looking forward! I Cannot find your css though, can you help me?
It’s in the template vault that goes out with the email thanking you for your subscription
@@BryanJenks so sorry but can you explain More? I can only find a obsidian css, and that don’t work in the custom css file in Logseq
Really enjoyed this video as an user of both Logseq and Obsidian. Very cool to hear about your use-case for Logseq!
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video Bryan! I started kicking the tires today on Logseq and your video really help get me started, thank you. :)
Glad you found it helpful!

It's a great way to manage tasks around certain projects.

I’ve moved to dendron actually and finding that it jives the best so far
Thanks for sharing. The content of video is very inspiring to me. I'm going to optimize my workflow for recording technical notes.
Woo! Glad you liked it!

Thanks you for the great content!
I touched briefly on it before but this is me actually using it :)
More about devops and how you learn from it
more content about my server rack and homelab in the future :)
I've been managing personal knowledge bases on traditional hierarchical notes/documents with alphabetised headers H1-H6. Seems there may be a better way with this binary linking outliner program called Logseq. Not clear yet how I would setup a knowledge base in the Logseq world?
logseq still stores the notes and files as plain text, not as binary, so that may help a bit
Going to give this a try.
:)
Thank you for the nice video!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!

Css is on GitHub gists I believe and I don’t use logseq anymore so who knows if another video would happen 🤷🏻♂️
@@BryanJenks What are you using for technical notes now? This looks a bit smoother for me than obsidian for technical notes.
Thanks for the nice video.

Dendron, made a whole video about it

Hi Bryan, just a quick question. The "Content" view in the side bar is no longer available? I can't see on my graph...
maybe it was changed to "Favorites" or something? it was still there last time i used logseq, i've since transferred back to obsidian
In your video the bullet points of the code block are perfect aligned, but in my case the app inserts a blank line. Do you know why? Or how can I change it? May be with some css code??
very probable the css code, the theme i wrote is a public gist on my github
Being Obsidian based on Electron, isn’t it also a web app?
not yet, no, they have mobile app right now in beta, and a web publish service but no web app
Where can I find this theme? Or is it your custom css changes?
Its my custom css
Please make videos on Dev-ops!
The audience's interests also shape what content i make, we'll see where the channel goes, i'd like to talk more about that type of content :)
Why did you switch back to obsidian?
i never left obsidian, logseq was just for my devlog which now lives comfortably in dendron
Whats your definition of a "technical note"?
Factual Information about technical content. Code, Technologies, File formats, API's, etc. Anything in the tech space
What feature (or separate software) do you you use to add link at 5:08 (popup menu)? Can someone help?
thats alfred for Mac
Do you use this for Academic purposes?
not at the moment, but with the properties features and how some the metadata structure works in here it could easily be used for that to great benefit
