How far off is properties 2.0 and more "views"? Notion vs. Logseq

Questions & Help
1

I remember seeing back in November 2022 a brief preview/tweet showing properties 2.0 in Logseq. I’m wondering how far off this may be.

I had a chance to play with Tana and really like their approach for metadata management. That being said I’m not particularly interested in switching to another app.

With sync and whiteboards out of beta, I’m hoping that properties come next. While I’m believer in the bottom-up approach of outliners/blocks, it does become a pain when it comes to manage metadata in a centralized manner.

There’s a mention/preview of it here.

You may want to consider the power tags plug-in by HKGNP for something similar to super tags, properties 2.0 is still some way out.

Welcome to the community @picklesueat!

Yes, the properties system is getting refined (see the announcement here). You can see an early version at https://test.logseq.com and you can find documentation related to the new version here:

This was really useful. I’ve been trying to work out what people have been on about with Power Tags for a while now :person_facepalming:

It might be a while away but on the test site I’ve been playing around with it and it’s superb.

For example I’ve made an ‘idea’ tag which has ‘liklihood of success’ and ‘benefit’. So I can sort my ideas for say improving my software by combining those values and targetting the ideas I think have the highest chance of success and the most benefit first.

You can even share property types so I can then link that to the #tasks tag’s status and the statuses are all uniform across the system as well.

I am very much looking forward to it :grinning:
