  • To be honest, learn who you are before going on an app or trying to engage for a partner.

    You've been together (in perception, at least) a long time and you're still that married person and it will take time to remember who you are without that other person, regardless of whether you were a functioning couple or two people in the same house.

    The loneliness is just the transition sinking in.

    I'm a couple years older than you.

  • It was actually a (too oblique) reference to his: I wouldn't join a club that would have me as a member quotation. It was too oblique; my bad.

  • Has anyone migrated from a Markdown notes app to another?

  • Logseq to Obsidian.

    Logseq's markdown is weird and not standard. Everything is indented and in a list, even headings. I love me some open source, but this is a hard no.

    Open your logseq files in a plain text editor and compare with the standard. I spend much of my time editing them back to Markdown.

    Syncing logseq is easy on Syncthing. The only issue being that one has to watch out for conflicts by not editing one on one instance before the other sends it/it is received, but that's a sync issue not Logseq.

  • I started on Logseq, because I'm a contributing open source advocate. I fully intended to stay with Logseq.

    However, it seems to indent everything in the markdown including headings, bullet points and so on. When one loads a document into a markdown editor, one ends up removing all these indents before the document becomes 'valid'. They've made some other unusual design choices that mean the markdown doesn't read very well in plain text. I used Logseq for a year.

    There's also a difficulty for me with getting help. For some reason Logseq help community seems to be based around the Discuss (sp?). It's not easy to read because the lines are very short as it's a messaging platform. The community is very very active though.

    I eventually got frustrated with trying to debug my Markdown outside Logseq, and went looking for another vehicle.

    Rather distressed, I installed Obsidian. It's been designed with a more logical approach. To link to a heading in another document, the document is linked in a Wiki-like way (if you've chosen that format) with the heading separated by a hash symbol; in Logseq you get an unintelligible UUID plus all that indenting.

    There's a lot of help within the Obsidian community but some of it is locked down in medium paid-for content. However, the hundreds of Obsidian YouTube channels and videos, obsidianrocks and obsidian.md sites are very well authored. AI searches augment the rest, TBF I don't really use Google proxies anymore.

    Even though I'm a personal user, it's worth it to me to buy a commercial licence to show my appreciation for the work that the two(?) developers have put in.

    The plugins use the published API and are all (?) open source AFAICT.

    Most of the issues I have with Obsidian are just related to my workflow. I think that there are probably plugins that will solve them.

    I don't expect to be looking for another note-taking app anytime soon and it's been over a year since I started with Obsidian. Understanding templates opened my world up enormously. I haven't started data-mining in any meaningful sense yet.

    Just my tuppence.
