Logseq --> Silverbullet (feddit.uk)

TL:DR; Has anyone here successfully migrated their data & workflow from Logseq to Silverbullet?

... wall of text follows ...

I've been using Logseq for a few years and it has been a life saver at work, trying to track the stuff going on - honestly, I'd have burned out if I hadn't found it.

However, I still haven't quite got all the things organised and I feel Logseq's development is taking a different track that I don't want to go down (db, collab, etc)

SilverBullet.md appears to be developing into the solution I'm looking for... although I don't want a server-client architecture, so I'm running it standalone at the moment.

But, the learning curve feels so steep it's tending to curve back on itself... or... I'm just too busy to focus on learning it.

I see how the file structure works, but I don't understand how the templates, journals, etc work (really simple.in Logseq)

It appears to be 1 person developing this with lots of helpers who all seem happy to chip in with some AI generated code in the forum, but no meaty documentation, examples, etc.

If you've read this far... is it worth sticking with? Is there an FAQ I've missed? Any pointers or encouragement...?

Yeah, personally, I think they'd gradually make it db first and then markdown will gradually become an import / export function.

And I don't need colab... my notes are mine. Yeah, there's a few I share (ie home stuff with my partner), but for work, personal stuff, nope.. just me.

But yeah, after ~3 years of almost daily note taking for work, it needs a computer with SSD to find things quickly and can take a while to start on the phone (hence using Markor to edit the .md files directly instead)

To your original post, yeah, single maintainer... but Logseq has how many? And it's stalled really... from an external viewpoint.

I think SilverBullet has a slow steady pace rather than Logseq's fast initial pace and then ... nothing much since they got lots of investment - which someone will want back.

    About 4. Plus the people who maintain plugins.

    They didn't stop working on the code. But you're right, it doesn't feel like it UI wise. Which can be a good thing if the status quo is fine.

    Markor

    Promising. I will take a look.

    Can be. One of the reasons I like md - i'm not bound to one solution.

    Still. At one point I will look at silverbullet.
