• Intro to Logseq: A Powerful Tool for Personal and Team Knowledge Management

    Logseq: A privacy-first, open-source knowledge base that works on top of local plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files. You can use it to write, organize and share your thoughts, manage and track tasks, and build your own digital garden.

    2nd brain tools like Logseq are invaluable because they relfect our knowledge back to us associatively, with bidrectional relationships created by default between pages and blocks. Relationships are also native elements in the authoring process, they are as simple as [[Logseq]] or ((A bock somewhere in my graph)), that in turn create these relationships in your graph/db.

    Queries

    Another powerful feature of Logseq is its query system. Queries are expressions that allow you to search your graph based on various criteria (e.g., tags, properties, dates, text, etc.). They can be used to create dynamic lists, tables, charts, or graphs from your data. Advanced queries are written in Datalog, a declarative logic programming language that uses facts and rules to infer new information. Simple queries are a shorthand macro that can be used for most common use-cases, e.g.:

    {{query (and [[my project]] (task NOW LATER))}}
    

    Logseq Query Builder, an online tool and plugin helps you build advanced queries from simple commands contained in a code block. You can choose from various options such as page name, tag name, property name, date range, sort order, limit number, etc., and generate an advanced query with one click. You can also edit the query manually if needed for learning Datalog or further customization. there is also a plugin
