Some folks may not know this but Logseq has a built-in whiteboard feature too that’s also FOSS. I use it all the time to mind-map new blogposts and newsletters.
In Logseq the starting page is always the journal page for the day. This allows you to build up content without worrying about where it should go. Once you have something you feel you can run with, then you can move it to its own page.
EDIT: more features enabled by Logseq’s block-based (bullets) architecture over on Mastodon.
Logseq is block-based. Each bullet is a block. This is very powerful because it allows you to interlink concepts, ideas, at the level of the block vs page.
You can use Git, Syncthing or any other FOSS sync tool of your choice.
Logseq is FOSS and easily one of the best notetaking apps out there. It’s got whiteboards, interlinking at the block level, a big ecosystem of extensions and multiple panes so you can derive context as you write.
It’s my choice for the majority of writing I do in my day to day and hasn’t let me down once. My only wish list feature is multiplayer but that’s coming soon.
I’m very sad I paid for a Fold and don’t get 7 years of updates.
I did a little research and found a Redditor who was able to answer better than me:
EDIT: I was really curious about the major differences and what is enabled by Logseq’s block-based architecture so I asked my network on Mastodon and got some great answers!
