I chose logseq as my PKM

I was overloaded with information in the past several weeks. I sought many ways to overcome it. One choice I made is using logseq as PKM.

why?

There are several open source or freeware verion of PKM. Why did I choose logseq?

  • logseq is clojure based. I am a big fan of lisp-liked languages. I studied and did some coding using racket, common-lisp, elisp and clojure after I read Paul Graham’s essays about lisp. After those experiences even though I didn’t code in professional setting, I really appreciate LISP for its power.

  • Datalog for query: similiar language is used in Datomic database.

  • edn for configuration: a subset of the syntax used by Clojure

  • built-in flashcard: it help to effectively memorize facts.

I definitely need to use a PKM to cater for my overloaded situation. Why not kill two birds with one stone

Experiences in the past several weeks

I have been using Logseq since April 11, 2023, and it has served its purpose effectively. It enables me to maintain my information in an organized manner, and I have no regrets about choosing it.
