Migrating from Logseq to Obsidian | Harsh Shandilya

Logseq’s clunky apps and glacial development pace finally motivated me to migrate my journaling to Obsidian, here’s how I did it.

Thanks for the write-up. Asking as a long-time LogSeq user thinking of switching to Obsidian, how's it going after a while?

I'm extremely happy with Obsidian, the apps remain more usable than Logseq ever was and the plugin ecosystem is significantly better. With the PuppyGit app on Android I have a great set up that works across my desktop and mobile devices.

Great stuff. And one more question: how about for task management? I like LogSeq's built-in TODO list, just press Ctrl+Enter on a block and it becomes a TODO item. Magic!

Just yesterday I set up the Task-Board plugin for managing my TODOs across files and so far I have mixed opinions on it, but there are plenty of third-party options available with different workflows so it's not impossible to find one that suits you.

Thanks for this! Based on your guide I created a script to handle a full logseq to obsidian migration: https://github.com/spoofhopper/logseq-to-obsidian-migration

Cool, I just starred it. So you're happy with the migration and no downsides? May have to run that script if so!

Did you find a good replacement for Logseq's namespaces?

I never explicitly used namespaces so I haven't had a reason to investigate.
