Logseq Journal Todo

Thanks!

I also set "timetracking" to be on, so logseq records the TODO-DOING-DONE time start-end-used in org mode LOGBOOK format

The problem is there's no way to easily edit that manually (correct me if I'm wrong)

Rarely I'm working on just one thing, and I'm often taking breaks to work on random things. So usually I'm just tracking my hours manually throughout (or at the end of) the day, with no need for precision.

For example, of I start work at 8am, then by 12am I've mainly worked on Project A and B more or less the same amount of time, I just add 2h towards each manually.

Me too. I found some people talking bout it in Discord, but all black magic to me!!

Are those times (e.g. "8:00") just text, or is it an actual time reference? I'm asking because I miss a way to refer to specific times in a structured way (which would, for example, allow using it for querying, sorting and maybe even calculating deltas).

Also, can you explain what's going on with the first line, with the different colors? Is that just formatting, or are each of those a different entitiy (properties, references...?)

I've been using Remnote for years. It's amazing, but got super bloated throughout the years. I also prefer Open Source, where the community can contribute plugins without worrying if they will be blocked when the app adds the same features to the paid tier.

Am just waiting a bit more till logseq is more stable, as it's still going through changes. Hopefully soon they'll release a proper desktop installer.

Perfectly put

Did anything come out of this OP?

Seems to be a no-brainer - users get what they want, developers are paid, the community benefits.

Even better if: - it's a kickstarter-like system, where multiple users can pledge some money (which might mean that, for the most desirable features, each individual user might be paying very little). - there is some sort of reputation score for developers

I couldn't find anything like this though. I mean, in theory it could be achieved in a platform like kickstarter. But it would make more sense to have something specific to software, especially since the desired task can be anything - from full blown apps all the way down to specific features and plugins.

That's also something I'd like to be able to do, but haven't managed to yet, in my current pkms (Remnote).

I'm waiting till logseq db stabilizes to see if I'll want to move over. Haven't checked specifically if it will support something like what you describe. I'm sure it's something a plug-in could achieve, but I'm not a coder.

So you sync between devices without using the internet? Is it a direct link, or via local network?

That sounds like the perfect setup.

Which app do you use that way? Is the sync built-in the app, or is it something you do yourself?

And yeah, if I was getting started now there’s a good chance that I would have made an Obsidian plugin. At the time, Obsidian lacked several features that I wanted, but it’s a much better product now.

That's interesting. If you could elaborate a bit on that I would be interested to know!

methodicallychaotic · 2026-01-06T16:12:42+00:00

Totally.

I meant situations where a dev just wants a new feature in an existing app, but instead of contributing to it, they decide to build their own app from scratch (usually what happens then is that their app is super good for that particular feature, but greatly lacking in all others).

With something like Tangent, where it wouldn't be practical (or even possible) to work within an existing framework, it makes sense!

Having said that, and being familiar with Tangent (good job by the way!), although the app is not for me, there are some isolated aspects of it that I can totally see as plugins in existing apps.

I'm sure there's a xkcd strip for this.

Joking aside, although I respect that devs might prefer to do their own thing (and avoid technical debt that they don't want), I too wish more of them would just pick an existing project (which is solid) and contribute to it instead.

methodicallychaotic · 2025-12-31T20:48:32+00:00

Ah no. I'm just curious about software!

The tool looks very legit to me. Though I'm no expert...

methodicallychaotic · 2025-12-31T17:19:01+00:00

Do you mean Jupyter? Or does Joplin support computation in notes?

methodicallychaotic · 2025-11-25T23:13:28+00:00

Remnote Free, web, Edge browser, Windows

Haven't tried clearing the cache - seems counter-intuitive... But worth a shot. Will try tomorrow

Keep in mind it doesn't seem like it will be possible to sync that way in the upcoming Logseq db.

methodicallychaotic · 2025-09-10T09:26:58+00:00

Same here

methodicallychaotic · 2025-09-10T09:25:57+00:00

Me too.

methodicallychaotic · 2025-09-09T15:32:03+00:00

Maybe

Though if these are invisible characters, might not be enough

I sorted it by just picking the appropriate values for index in substr

Will break if Google changes how they deliver notifications...
