With their recent update it seems they are on the last step to making their free version completely useless – are there any good alternatives out there? Preferably something that has a similar android app. I know I could use ssh+vi in a text file, but I'd prefer something a bit more streamlined
I personally love Logseq. I use syncthing to sync the files but they're implementing their own syncing feature. Works really fantastic and is cross platform.
Yes, It takes it's time indexing the graph - and you have to re-index periodically if you want you queries and graph to be in shape. I have a pretty mature KB, and this process takes no more than a few seconds, so it's fine.
Honestly, I love everything about it, except for the app itself. It ties me to the default editor, which is an Electron-based sluggish resource hog. I'd rather have some software scaffolding to work in an editor of my preference, but that is just me. I suspect most people in most use cases won't find it as problematic.
This is what I do as well! Logseq+Syncthing
Works super well. I was already using Syncthing to sync all my files anyways so tacking on Logseq was super easy.
Definitely recommend taking notes in the Journal and using tags to categorize them
