I'm checking out various "personal knowledge management" tools in a sandbox to see if it'd be an upgrade of my ragtag collection of text file-based notes.

First candidate is #Logseq, supposedly "privacy-first".

How #privacy friendly is something based on Electron (aka Chrome)? Debatable, but then they also do this:

1) Have "Send usage data" on by default
2) Start with an example page that embeds a YouTube video, and accepts all cookies

tcpdump and mitmproxy go wild when starting the program.

Hi, welcome to Logseq! Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration. This is a 3 minute tutorial on how to use Logseq. Let's get started! Here are some tips that might be useful.
Shows that the "Send usage data and diagnostics to Logseq" setting is enabled by default.
Shows the services being contacted by Logseq over HTTPS right after starting it for the first time. Hosts that are being contact: www.youtube.com, googleads.g.doubleclick.net, jnn-pa-googleapis.com, play.google.com, app.posthog.com, o416451.ingest.sentry.io

@loadhigh Thanks for the great thread and analyses! ❤️ I'd love to get your take on @TiddlyWiki and @FeatherWiki both are technically interesting takes on personal knowledge management :

@nacly @TiddlyWiki @FeatherWiki You're welcome :)

I tried to build personal wikis a long time ago but the ones I tried didn't do anything with tags or metadata, so it was up to you to collect topics in categories or with explicit, hand typed links. That was a hassle.

I guess I missed TiddlyWiki because it does go all-in on the relation metadata. I'm going to try it out, thanks :)

I'm unsure about Feather Wiki because it's not working with files on disk directly, but it's very neat for 58kb.
