performance isn’t really my main concern with DB.

Yes I was using the db implementation but didn’t know there was a MD mode, that’s nice! Might give it another go.

You’re right, you can use logseq without a db. Nice!

There is a version that uses SQLite which is what I was using, it seems like that’s required for certain features like db graphs, so a bit of a bummer:

Yep same reason here. I use git for backup and sync, if my notes are in a db I can’t easily do that.

In addition to those benefits, I’d like for my information to outlive the tool I’m using to manage it, which is less likely when using something db-centric.

I was so impressed by logseq……until I realized my files are all managed in a database. Obsidian just saves your notes as basic markdown files. That ended up being a big enough reason to go back.

If that’s not a big deal to you, absolutely logseq 100%.
