I'm not the parent commenter, but made a similar transition (years ago at this point). I have always loved outliner formats, but the obsidian ecosystem is quite strong, and because I already had thousands of notes that were just plain old markdown, it was a more natural home.
I wrote code to facilitate the migration. Nothing too crazy, but in general I wrote scripts that:
- Add lines between logseq's daily notes format and the rest of the content
- Moving daily notes to month-based subfolders
- Automatically adding frontmatter to files that didn't have any
- Removing indentation when unnecessary
- Covert everything to space-based indentation rather than tabs
Bugs and performance mostly. The elusive database refactor might bring me back but we'll see.
I definitely have a preference for outliner, flat zk style, but I'm able to get the majority of the benefit from Obsidian while having access to a stronger ecosystem of plugins and first class publishing and syncing support. Meanwhile Logseq seems to have lost a lot of steam.
