I just started using Skiff a couple months ago. I enjoyed the quick alias features and the multiple aliases to keep everything separated. I am really sad to see this happen so soon after joining.

I’d never heard of Skiff, but the reason I use Logseq instead of Notion is because it’s AGPL open source and you can keep control of your data.
Same reason I use emacs org-mode 👍
Is this similar to obsidian but FOSS?
I’m told they’re similar, but I’ve never used Obsidian.
Logseq vs Obsidian - which PKM tool should you use?
Logseq is a block-based outliner, allowing you to organise information into a tree-like structure using bullet-points. You can think of it as a mind-map, but for text. This allows users to quickly structure and add hierarchy to their information by indenting information, and to also move quickly between different branches of information.
[…]
In contrast to the outliner approach, Obsidian is a page-based application that functions like a long-form text editor, similar to a Microsoft Word document. The key advantage over traditional word processors is the instant searchability of all files and folders, as well as seamless linking between different pieces of information.
How to use Obsidian and Logseq together and why Markdown matters
I use Obsidian alot, they are very different in how they work as far as I can tell. Obsidian is more like a pure notebook with a HUGE amount of useful plugins. I use the KanBan and OCR functions alot with their Google-esq search.
I really liked logseq but it is staggeringly heavy for a fancy note taking app, uses some wierd markup and the forced bullets are restrictive.
But I really liked its structure, much simpler than things like anytype, but just as powerful.
I’ve never heard of it, but sad to hear they sold out. Just as a note totally love there icons. I miss icons feeling like someone put some real effort and love into them.
Edit: Damn they’re just sunsetting the products and services? That’s rough.
Yeah, the icons are really cool, I like the chunky, 3d-look.
That is why I use my own email server lol.
Never got on board with email but the pages functionality is amazing and doesn't exist anywhere else (at least with e2e and real time collaboration). Not sure where I'm going to go
Check out cryptpad. Maybe that's a good alternative for you
Same as it always did.
How is Norton still a thing?
Notion*?
😂 I read it as Norton. Guess I needed my glasses
