It pains me to say, but it's probably too little, too late. Logseq remained a buggy mess, is now on an unmaintained (thus insecure) version of electron.
And now after several years of complete stagnation, the supposed improvement is a database format to fix their technical issues, so I can no longer keep all my data as markdown files? At a time when half the edits are done by Claude and tracked with jujustu, this is just not useful for me.
All I wanted was the original vision, but with less bugs and more quality of life features.

I love the concept of logseq, but the userbase is just too small and in turn the speed of change is too slow. .
Over the last few weeks, with the help of Claude Code I've finally been able to dive into Obsidian and build out the second brain I've always wanted. With the power to auto-sort small thoughts jotted down on my phone with minimal friction or maintenance.
CC has really reduced the friction to getting started with Obsidian that's held me back for years.
I still use Logseq and conceptually it’s still a great method for building a second brain. It fits the way my brain works.
But it has been dormant for years and early attempts at syncing didn’t work well. I paid to support the sync effort but we saw nothing for years. That’s a painfully long time.
Yeah I felt the same about the decision when they decided to move to database structure. If it had this structure from the start it could've built up an ecosystem like Obsidian's but now it's hard to justify going for it.
Even if it was something people wanted, and it wasn't clear that it was even before the advent of CC, abandoning the mainline product for years was a terrible move.
Hopefully they at least got something out of it for themselves from that VC money.
