I am an Obsidian user and quite happy. But there isn’t a good way to review and scroll daily notes in a Loqseq like fashion in Obsidian. (The plugins for that are unreliable and weak performance.) I have used Logseq but left because of mobile problems, cluttered markdown, and once losing months of data.

I don’t need most of the fancy plugin features of Obsidian aside the robust linking and snappy UI. But I would really like a Logseq like scrollable journal. So is it possible in Silverbullet or do you have another competitor that sounds what I want? Linux + iOS. Not necessarily self hosted but can be.

    Not familiar with obsidian nor logsec, but silverbullet is a programmable notebook. Everything is indexed and can be used, acessed and manipulated using javascript.

    You can then write queries to fetch the data and then use templates to display it.

    I have a very simple query that displays all my pending tasks for each project I am working on.

    I also have created a template for displaying ttrpg character sheets, and the data is polulated by a yaml object which contains the actual character data. Custom javascript code automatically calculates stats, skills, checks and carry weight for me.

    So basically I believe that you can do what you’re looking for on silverbullet but maybe not out of the box.

      Well that sounds really nice. I didn’t know it was that flexible. I’m not very familiar with JavaScript yet but I’ll give it try. Thanks.

        Awesome! If you decide to give it a go you may want to take a look at the authors youtube channel:

        He has shared some examples of the things you can do with it.

        Anyways I hope you can find somethinflg that suits your needs!

    I have been using it similarly to Logseq by dedicating a page to be used as a scrollable journal, with the difference that I write new dates as headers, by hand.
