Are there any significant new developments for Logseq? Also, I wonder if there is any progress in developing a version for Chromebook?

l like Logseq because it allows for local storage and synching between devices.

At the same time I am attracted to Amplenote.

As always I appreciate any responses and thank you all in advance!

Enjoy your weekend!

I don't know much about Logseq, but I'm chiming in anyway.

If you're looking for an app like Logseq that can be used on a Chromebook, I guess you need one that has a browser version or is browser-based. Two that I'm aware of that also have local storage of data (or at least offline access to it) are Heptabase and Remnote, with Remnote being the most like Logseq. Remnote is browser-based, but allows access to your data when offline. Heptabase is desktop first, but has a browser version that works the same.

Question about Amplenote, has it had any significant upgrades recently?

Steve

Hi Steve -

Thanks for your reply.

I have looked at Remnote, but am not excited about it, though perhaps I need to look at it again. Heptabase interests me, but it is pricey.

Amplenote, which seems to have been developing rapidly:

So they've been up to more at Amplenote than I was aware of. Thanks, Daly.

FWIW, Zenkit's Hypernotes also works both in the browser and offline, and presumably would be a good option for Chromebook. But of course depends on your needs. RemNote has more features and continues to mature. And there's still Roam of course.

(LogSeq seems to be working gradually on database version, but would have to ask on their forum or Discord about whether that would open up Chromebook possibilities.)

Chromebooks that run Android apps can also make use of the excellent UpNote (one of the few fully cross-platform apps around; I use it on Mac, Linux, Android and iOS, and could use it on Windows if I wanted to). Apparently it runs well on Chromebooks.

I believe it is possible to load logseq in a browser and direct it to your files. However I believe there might be an issue with how it handles certain attachments. Not sure if there is still an issue.

I wonder if you could run the android app or the linux app.

Apparently Bear (as in Bear Writer, a highly popular note-taking app on MacOS/iOS) are working on a web-based version, too. This could be very interesting for those who already use Bear, and quite interesting even for those who don’t ;-)

That is an interesting development. Smart, I think. One reason (the main one) that I've never adopted Bear for writing is that I work on a Windows PC for my job. Two other apps that started in the Apple environment have dipped their toes into web versions: NotePlan and DayOne. Both are still a long way from being fully realized versions of their Mac/iOS selves, but DayOne has proven serviceable for keeping my daily journal. I've tried NotePlan online and there were still enough rough edges for me to wait until it is more refined.

I recall looking at NotePlan long (ie years) ago, and wishing it was available in the PC world. If I am correct (not always a sure bet), NotePlan was an early forerunner to some of the more recent combo note/planning/calendar apps.

Anyhow, I checked out the NotePlan web app on my Android phone, and was struck by its similarities to Amplenote, and to other note apps featuring bidirectional linking, daily pages, etc.

I am always conflicted between digital and analog, and how to use both in my planning and writing, as well as serious notetaking (am setting up a Zettelkasten as per Luhmann). The conflict is not helped by my two decade plus obsession with fountain pens and even longer love of paper.

I am increasingly considering Amplenote, as mentioned elsewhere, and now wonder whether NotePlan may also fit the bill (perhaps all the more so if it creates a PC version).

I am always conflicted between digital and analog, and how to use both in my planning and writing, as well as serious notetaking (am setting up a Zettelkasten as per Luhmann) increasingly related to more academic reading and study. The conflict is not helped by my two decade plus obsession with fountain pens and even longer love of paper.
