Thanks, @Luhmann, for all the good info. I’m glad you decided to give Logseq another shot!

Although I still prefer to do my “power outlining” in Tinderbox (on Mac) and InfoQube (on Windows), the Logseq+Obsidian combination is a dream come true for my personal approach to outline-based Zettelkasten.

For reference, note also the previous thread that discussed this: https://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/9422

In that previous thread, I linked to the following thread on the Obsidian forums: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/new-roam-like-application-appeared-logseq/6164/45

In that thread on the Obsidian forums, it is pointed out that it may also be advisable to tweak how Logseq handles note titles. Logseq can be configured to get note titles either from file names or from titles at the top of notes. If you want to be able to create notes from within Obsidian and have Logseq read them properly, then it’s generally best to tell Logseq to get note titles from file names. This can be done by adding the following text to the file logseq/config.edn:

:page-name-order “file “

I’m not sure if anything has been tweaked in the meantime, but in my case that configuration setting proved useful.
