I don't take notes on articles I find boring. If I can't find value within the first few minutes of skimming, I don't take notes on it.
You see a lot of productivity gurus take an exorbitant amount of notes on articles that can be summarized in one paragraph at most.
A lot of my notes are for things I find very interesting and exciting. Whenever I am having a conversation about them, the link to those notes is immediately made and I can resurface information in conversation.
I touch on them every once in a while, but it's not something I do frequently.
Most importantly, I make sure that I can find my way back to the notes I've taken. I use lots of tags and backlinks that do not "look" right with the page, but make it easy to find using adjacent concepts and ideas.
Loved the effort and concept that went into designing Logseq.
The reason I don't use it: when creating notes, if one doesn't use hashtags etc. properly (and spell them correctly), one would pretty much never be able to retrieve the snippet.
I loved the idea of Logseq, but as of this writing, "logseq data loss ${year}" still shows people losing large numbers of notes on a regular basis. I don't trust it with my information.
I use Logseq and never had a problem with data loss so I did that search. Looks like the problem with data loss is a problem with people using sync. I don't use Logseq Sync and just backup my markdown folder to a cloud storage using any number of third party tools like Syncthing.
No shots intended, I swear it! Logseq is really nice and I liked it a lot when I tried it. However, the bug reports in the forums kept me from seriously considering it. For now at least I just keep my notes in a synced folder of Markdown docs and maintain them with a regular editor.
How is search working for you? I unfortunately find it to be lacking the ability to filter anything and open the results in their own view, making it not nearly as useful as it could be for me.
