I’m a Logseq user and I’m certainly trying to battle through until all is well again. While the team are active on Discord and the forums, they really need to be updating their public/formal channels i.e. their socials and the Logseq blog (which hasn’t seen a new post in some time). It’s these channels where perception about the product is drawn from. I’m a comms person and I can’t encourage them to do this enough.
Currently, new users look and see no activity and they see a mobile app without updates for over a year. The response on the Discord is often ‘check the GitHub, you’ll see how much progress there is’, but I’m sure they would be surprised by the number of people that use Logseq that have never even looked at GitHub, let alone tried to decipher what any of the terminology there means as an indicator of progress with the user experience. My other gripe is their website - which presents the app as a fully functioning PKM app that you should load your entire life into - it never has been, it’s not even got to v1.0 yet and has technically never left beta. If it wasn’t free, it would be a con, frankly.
That said, I love Logseq. I just want it to be better (and for them to write a blog post from time to time).
I hear you Ashley and completely agree with the comments you raised. The lack of official communication has been a gripe for me and a number of users for some time. I have no doubt that the devs prefer coding, but there should be some sort of official communication now and again. Just check Tana, Obsidian, Heptabase etc.etc. The team are actually active. Hopefully this changes, but as it has been years, I am not sure it will.
The app itself is great and with several well executed updates could be even better now that it has DB capabilities, but it will be interesting to see where things go. The RTC (Real Time Collaboration) for instance is something I have no interest in and kind of takes the app away from its core foundation. I understand why it needs to be done to generate money and income, but is there really that much demand for RRC in note-taking apps? Are the apps confusing allowing viewing access (a la Notion) vs actually collaborating on notes?
