been incrementally trying to see how to implement obsidian more and more in my daily life, it’s really an incredible piece of software

I like Logseq too! Ideally I don't leave it, but play between both it and Obsidian.

There are (at least) two architectural ways of thinking about notes

On the level of blocks (Logseq, Roam, etc). Or on the level of files/ page (Obsidian/ OneNote).

Blocks have some incredibly powerful affordances - like linking and playing with single lines of reasoning. A single unit of an idea. Blockrefs are chef's kiss.

But they also require a lot of upfront thinking and action. So - if you didn't tag something appropriately two weeks ago in some level 6 deepthreaded note, go fuck yourself you won't find it again. It's mycelial, flat, and non-structured by design.

Conversely, page or hierarchical thinking forces upfront organization (instead of upfront tagging). There is structural safety as a backup - you remember where the file or ideas is relative to other files and levels (in the hierarchy). To me this adds a kinesthetic sense of relevance... or orientation.

I may dig it up - but a core designer of Logseq said that imposing a hierarchical structure on the tool implies an old way of thinking. Logseq requires a new way of thinking - it is designed to be flat and networked.

I suppose I am an oldthinker.
