I have used Outliner too. There isn't exactly a difference between using them both. I prefer LogSeq because of the UI/UX that it provides for outlining. I would like to fix myself to a single app one day if possible, but for now Logseq and Obsidian work well for me.

Offtopic: It is such a nice co-incidence to meet you here on HN. I found you on YouTube yesterday while searching for Notion swipe files and then followed you on Twitter today. :).

Good to know about them being about the same. Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out the outlining workflow and I've heard such different reports about all the different options that I'm having trouble wrapping my head around everything. I think I'd prefer the "Logseq folder in Obsidian" approach myself.

O/T: I usually lurk on HN since I'm very developer-adjacent (my husband and most of my friends are engineers so I like to have stuff to talk about at dinner/parties), but this was finally a thread where I knew something relevant haha. Nice to meet you!

Currently looking all over the place for a good markdown backed out liner. I currently used Logseq with the storage synced by Obsidian.

OTOH... I kinda assumed outlining was awesome for taking notes and jumped on the Roam (and Logseq) hype train, but recently noticed how "thinking" with free text works better in most cases. Markdown lists in Obsidian/VsCode when lists are really needed.a
