Can we PLEASE get a small public roadmap?

Never a stupid question. Which version did you download?

I clicked on the link above Build-Desktop-Release ¡ logseq/logseq@d867bf6 ¡ GitHub

I am using a Mac M3 so I guest build-macos-arm64 so the first step is to download it but I could not find a link to download yet.

I have the original version OS & iOS app on my hard drive, and I downloaded the test version. Which one do you suggest I use? Thank you

For me personally, and likely the average newcomer, not knowing the community well enough, I would find regular updates from a singular source (eg, the Logseq blog ideally) to be a very reliable source of activity.

While it’s great for contributors to put in such effort, I think a dedicated community manager - someone people know they can get answers from that are based on concrete plans/information, and updates the blog regularly would make a big difference in showcasing the activity that is happening behind the scenes, and what/when to expect things next. As much as one can appreciate contributor input, an ‘educated guess’ is not the same thing as hearing something ‘official’.

edit: so my ignorance shows because I wasn’t aware of @Ramses and realizing that he’s no longer the community manager. Looking through his post history his efforts are likely sorely missed by many!

Edit: OH, nevermind, these just seem to be the same build as available on the website :face_holding_back_tears:

Not to derail this thread too far but scroll down to the bottom and under Artifacts you will see the binaries to download:

Thanks for sharing more about your thoughts. Actually the active contributors do communicate a lot with the dev team on Discord, so it isn’t fully an ‘educated guess’. And for the things that they are not sure about, I do observe them indicating it if so.

Having said that, I do agree that having an un-updated blog isn’t a great first impression.

Last days i was checking all my payments from the credit card and checking if still required. There also pops up Logseq, I am paying for logseq for more than one year now. I also do use it daily. But unfortunately the updates are so rare. I think about change the tool for my daily notes because of still having performance issues with logseq. Hope that changes soon.

oh wow, this changelog looks different tha the github/releases page

I think the issue raised is clear - people don’t know where to find information and updates, and they don’t see an official source for that information that is up to date. That gap is being filled by unofficial sources

Your reply is that the active contributor unofficial sources are collecting the information and sharing it. That’s the point I think @asc9ybUnb3dmB7ZW is trying to make, that someone needs to be made an official source. I’ve been using logseq for years and I can echo what the other users are saying, I have no idea where to consistently find actual updates and information. The answer to that isn’t to give me a link now in a reply - it’s to overhaul the communication style of logseq as an organisation to make it easy to find information. Having one responsible person who has ownership of this, and the authority to improve things (instead of just active contributors popping up to give info when they see it’s asked for) is the way to do that . In the same way that sharing a screenshot of a logseq todo list in a forum thread is not the correct distribution channel for roadmap updates, because 1 in 100 of the people who want to see the roadmap will see that screenshot. People still end up at the Trello! see posts from 2022 here where people are wondering if it’s up to date or not: Is there a public roadmap for Logseq development? - #4 by mlanza

It shouldn’t take 2+ years to delete an out-of-date trello board. An official, authorised community manager would understand these issues and quickly solve the low-hanging-fruit, and Logseq will be much better off as a project for it
