Has anyone tried the newer “OG” release of the markdown version?
I’m wanting to keep the markdown files instead of migrating to the DB version and I’m (still) using logseq 0.10.15, but I’ll be upgrading soon, so wanted to check if others have any feedback since this release in April.
I tried the new version first, had a load of things I didn’t like, most of which were caused by not being able to edit the files directly, then I found the og version.
What’s the deal with this release? I’m still on 0.10.14. Should I upgrade to 0.10.15 or this?
Instead of keeping markdown files as source of truth, they moved to having a DB. And you can only export the notes into MD (AFAIK). OG is the (most probably) abandoned branch without the DB
https://logseq.io/page/b2ad9ce1-9cb7-4436-8083-54cb4516d324/df4dc09d-0a12-4c87-904e-22a9bf4c350aI updated to 0.10.15, but I’m intending to zip up the folders and install this “OG” version… when I have a few minutes spare where I can deal with the potential issues the app might have
I tried the 1.0.0, and it’s not much different than the latest release. The v1 release was there just to differentiate it from the v2 DB release as I understand. The OG and DB versions still have the same id on Android, so you can’t install them together. It was supposedly fixed with a pull request, but the team never cut a release for that. I feel they abandoned that for good to focus on the new product.
I was disappointed, because my notes span years and Logseq became slow on the PC and unusable on Android, so my notetaking just halted for a while. I discovered however there is an app compatible with existing notes, called Tine, that basically is building a fast client for Logseq Markdown notes. I’m trying it and my first impression is positive. Maybe you should try too.
Thanks, yeah, I have installed the later version and, yeah, it’s just a point upgrade really, nothing better
I also installed Tine, pointed it at my folders and then it just tells me:
unsafe graph layout: Invalid argument (os error 22)Looking at github issues it seems this has been fixed in an upcoming release, so I’m holding out for that.Meanwhile, I’m also giving FastLog a go… it’s more limited than the Logseq client, but it works…
I have 4 graphs and it’s my Work one that’s unusable on Android now. I did think about breaking it down into annual graphs, but then I’d lose all the interdependencies.
It’s just a shame that the dev team have gone so quiet
@Cyber I do. On multiple devices. Works just as the pre db version
Ok, good to know, thanks
Anything notable about it, or is it really just 0.10.“16”?
Logseq OG, fortunately being real free software (as in freedom), deserves forking if the original devs do not want to continue it. But it already works as intended, yes.
For F-Droid, take also a look at this Fastlog
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.siddharthagolu.fastlog :fdroid:Combining them with Syncthing is all good. :syncthing:
Ooh, thanks.
Yeah, the logseq Android app is really struggling.
For one graph (work) I’ve given up and just use Markor, but I didn’t know about Fastlog, I’ll take a look - thanks!
Edit: and yes, syncthing for the win
