I wonder if the sync feature will be open source eventually and allow us to host it.
For me the Holy Grail of note-taking app would be:
- free and open source
- offline first
- encrypted sync
- collaborative
- backlinks and cool things like logseq queries
Personally, I wouldn't mind paying but I want to be able to collaborate with anyone. As an example, my mom wouldn't be interested in paying for a software that she would barely use even if it's a software that I can't live without.
- arvigeus 4y agoMay I recommend motif.land? Not open source yet, but it seem to be ticking all of your checkboxes.
- brunoqc 4y agoDo you know if a mobile app is planned?
- mfester 4y agoNot yet. We do support file sync though (https://motif.land/blog/syncing-text-files-using-yjs-and-the-file-system-access-api https://motif.land/blog/syncing-text-files-using-yjs-and-the...) so you can use your mobile Markdown editor of choice.
- 124816 4y ago> wonder if the sync feature will be open source According to [1] they don't plan to open source it due to "business considerations." I'm not against people making a buck, but as far as I understand this isn't permitted by the AGPL, which logseq's current authors are bound to as much as anyone else. (Unless they have all past contributors grant them a secondary license.) It's likely the sync protocol will be reimplemented for self-hosting, but I'd assume the mobile apps will hardcode the server address to encourage use of their paid sync service. 1: https://discuss.logseq.com/t/what-is-the-logseq-open-source-policy/187/4 https://discuss.logseq.com/t/what-is-the-logseq-open-source-...
- brunoqc 4y agoI'm wondering if there's something wrong with marketing something as open-source, privacy first and collaborative if the sync part is not open source.
