I recently found lq (logseq-query), it lets you run and manage queries against your logseq graph. Built using nbb (Clojure for Node.js)

hoping this becomes a sustainable open source project... go Logseq!

For power users... I was specifically looking the feature 'named properties' aka 'key-value pairs'. Which AFAIK is unique to logseq, absent from the other outliners (Roam, Obsidian, Athens...) https://docs.logseq.com/#/page/term%2Fproperties

You can get a similar thing going with frontmatter in Obsidian. But advances features would need custom plugins.

A free application, retaining your privacy. So, how will the 4.1 Megadollars generate a return on the investment?

"We're proud to announce our first $4.1M seed round. The financing was led by Patrick Collison, Stripe CEO, Nat Friedman, former CEO of GitHub, Tobias Lütke, Founder of Shopify, Sriram Krishnan, GP at A16Z, along with Craft Ventures, Matrix Partners, Day One Ventures, Charlie Cheever, Founder of Expo/Quora, and Dave Winer, the forefather of outliners, scripting, weblogs, RSS, podcasting, etc."

That's amazing news. I've started using Logseq (https://logseq.com/) this week (migrated from Obsidian), and it's great! ... yes, there are things that could be polished, but it is still amazing as it is.

Seeing this financial commitment fuelling the future improvements is such a simply amazing.

I tried to use Obsidian but it just didnt do it for me. And Dendron felt way too hacky. Havent tried this but always looking fot the next stage of evolution after Evernote

Not until such products integrate into IDEs and not require a standalone app, it's a no-go.

Also, documentation highjacks back button on mobile safari and blocks gesture back swipe with a sidebar.

The web export is half-baked, I hope to be able to contribute to it a bit in the future.

Hey, I use that! Logseq is great; a lot more polished (less buggy) than Athens, it has a pretty vibrant community.

I'm happy about the funding, but also hope it doesn't turn out to be a liability (as it often can ...).

> Logseq is building a new global wiki

Quite cool that that's the goal, it's also my vision. Step 1 towards this: Improving the web export (a lot).

Congrats! Sorry shared the duplicated dig. Logseq by many angles are best fitting my requirements regarding note/knowledge/gtd workflow yet persistent state in non-binary files to ensure no platform locking.
