I forgot Evernote was still a thing. Used it for a short while back in 2012 when there were not many decent note taking apps.

Ever since I discovered LogSeq and Obsidian, I stopped checking out other note-taking software

I love Obsidian but haven't heard of LogSeq, do you use both but for different things?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They are very similar. The main differences are:

  • LogSeq uses bullet points. Obsidian is just pure markdown
  • LogSeq is open source. Obsidian is closed source
  • LogSeq has a predefined structure to it (folders). Obsidian allows you to have whatever folders you want

Personally, I use LogSeq for my day to day work. Primarily because I prefer the bullet point approach when taking notes. But some people would prefer writing long continuous text with Obsidian.

So to each their own. If you're interested, try both (they're both using markdown, so you can transfer between the two). I went back and forth a few times before settling with LogSeq
