A screenshot of the right sidebar of Logseq showing the contents tab. The tab contains some links to certain websites, like a ticketing system, Teams, some homepage, a switch and a link called Kollegium which is german and means Colleagues (I should probably change that to be English aswell). There are also links to almost all the task pages and a query which shows the currently running NOW tasks. The picture is meant to show how much this smol sidebar can do. I like it, and I would like to see more of it in the program!

At first I used Logseq only for personal use. It’s great for quickly noting something obviously, but that networking effect people talk about really got into full force once I started working with it for my admin job.

I only just started using that sidebar and some more plugins (vim shortcuts and some of the awesome plugins) and those make the experience that much better. Also that pdf printer plugin is cool, even though I wish it was just a Logseq feature by default to be able to print stuff. I know that a pdf converter is coming!

I am very much not an advanced user, but these simple tools alone make me feel like organizing things became like three times easier. It also introduced me to markdown and now I miss it whenever I don’t have it, or I have to use some fake version with different syntax for basic highlighting and links.

Thank you dear Logseq team and contributers for creating such useful and not bloated software.

    There’s not really any “fake” markdown. It’s always just been some shared conventions that may vary place to place. Some standardized variants of it have become popular, like commonmark or github, but the others aren’t fake. I don’t know which one logseq uses, but I do remember it had some of its own quirks too.

      Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was refering to websites, which hide all the formatting and have you pressing buttons and shortcuts to make stuff bold, italic and stuff. Sometimes they don’t even give you the option to link anything or create headers. That is what I meant by fake markdown
