LogseqTimes 2023–11–12: Logseq 0.9.20, Properties, Zettlekasten, Logseq as a Second Brain, Logseq vs Notion, Local LLM, Updated Plugins and much more

Hi Everyone,

After a somewhat crazy last few months, I am finally properly back online and slowly getting back to normality, which gives me great pleasure to be able to post on Logseq Times once more. My last post was about 4 months ago, which is a little shameful, but sometimes it is important to get off the merry-go-round that is life before you start missing the trees from the forest.

Anyway, log metaphors aside (see what I did there), there has been so much going on in the world of Logseq of late, so why don’t we jump right in?

Logseq 0.9.20 Release

This release includes a couple of useful updates like a new inbuilt Handbook, smartt-merge for this using Logseq Sync, updated Electron app and more. You can download the desktop and Android app here.
