Why?

Because Emacs is kind of limiting me in the way of its take on things.

It's still a great editor, and Org Mode has taught me a lot of great and new techniques on how to take on my life.

Still, the lack of integration with my phone of Org Agenda and Emacs slow editing does not feel very good for me at least.

As I was able to experiment with a lot of plugins. So I am able to define what I really need and what not.

What do I really need?

vim motions

• Being able to edit and annotate PDFs, as I need it for my university

Plugin support and extensibility

• while it's possible in Emacs, elisp is not my preferred language to hack on things.

Export pages to HTML for my phone

• This way I can quickly check my agenda on the go if needed

What I like on Logseq so far

• More than enough plugins

• Ability to host your whole database as a website

• Ability to export pages to HTML natively

• It's almost fully compatible with my org-roam files, which is great.

• Being able to import all my .org files but still continue with .md for better compatibility

How am I going to achieve my switch?

As much as it hurts, this step is somehow important for me.

I will also stop using Syncthing as my syncing tool, as I faced many times the issue of overwriting files. Maybe a skill issue, but I want to switch to git crypt.

I really like the idea of doing the version control manually and encrypting all my sensitive data in a way I can manage it without relying on plugins.

I don't want to dive into plugins

• Plugins always overwhelmed me.

• That's also the reason why I always quit after a couple of days of using Obsidian or even Notion.

• Content Creator shows their personal workflows and overwhelm you with it too.

• When I try to use logseq with not that many plugins, I can discover its core features.

• If I really miss out on something, I will allow myself to find a good solution for that.
