Hello from the United Kingdom.
I started using Logseq just over a year ago and within a week I wondered how I could have done my job without it. I work in software engineering and there is a lot of knowledge management work to do. I have been recommending it to colleagues too, with one of them telling me that by day 2 they were hooked. It’s been much the same for me.
Since starting with Logseq I no longer turn up to meetings trying to orient myself, since I’m already reminded of what we previously talked about.
I find the pages are a great way to build knowledge, and the journal is a great way to think through problems.
In the last 6 months I’ve been experimenting with having NotebookLM use my Logseq graph to prepare daily plans, to remind me what things I need to get done that day and brief me for meetings. It’s been working out pretty well so far!
So… hi! \o

Welcome to the community, and that’s great to hear, it works so well for you! When you mentioned NotebookLM i assume you use the MD version of Logseq, is that correct? Have you had a chance to give the new Logseq DB version a try (eg. via https://test.logseq.com/)? Curious how that would feel for you with your already established workflows (eg. by creating a #Meeting tag with properties like “Attendees” “Agenda” “Notes” etc.).
Yes, I’m using repomix to package up the Markdown files.
I haven’t tried the DB version, no. Is there a way I can test it locally on my own machine?
Yes, test.logseq.com saves the db locally on your machine by default. If you want to install the app on your computer tho, you can get the latest desktop build from here: Build-Desktop-Release · Workflow runs · logseq/logseq · GitHub

I will have to check it out. I only discovered the DB version has semantic search after adding a plugin for the MD version to do it 
can you tell us a bit more about how you organize your notes? i’m very curious about it

Same for me, great way to discover new and interesting ideas for note taking!
Hello, very very new here.
I have tried to understand what this software does, but still didn’t grasp what it offers more than writing my own notes as standard or quarto-flavour Markdown texts.
I can’t yet post new threads, so posting it here… how Logseq can change my life ? Please help me understand, thank you
Welcome.
Let me clear up that changing lives is not what any software is expected to do. A note-taking application is a tool, so it may make something better than some alternative tools.
Writing notes has always been the easy part, although Logseq makes it a little easier through the journal, the templates and some other automations. What can make a big difference is how to connect those notes, query them, surface, leverage, exploit them etc. And for that to be felt, you need to accumulate both a big-enough quantity of notes and of good-enough quality.
The common experience of note-takers that have found considerable value in their tool of choice is that they had to go through various phases of improving their note-taking skills and evaluating different tools to find what better fitted their evolving note-taking style during each phase. The internet offers plenty of videos with such testimonies that may give you some inspiration. But actually changing a life is rare, though it happens. However, unless you go yourself through that experience, it will remain almost a mystery.
