I'm checking out various "personal knowledge management" tools in a sandbox to see if it be an upgrade my ragtag collection of text file-based notes.

First candidate is #Logseq, supposedly "privacy-first".

How #privacy friendly is something based on Electron (aka Chrome)? Debatable, but then they also do this:

Have "Send usage data" on by default
Start with an example page that embeds a YouTube video, and accepts all cookies

tcpdump and mitmproxy go wild when starting the program.

I currently have my text notes in a directory structure but I think/hope I can find them more easily if I can browse through them by tag or other attributes, and remove the need to decide each time which directory they fit in best.

I wish there was a "personal knowledge manager" that's a real, native application like QOwnNotes but it's Electron all the way down (so far, at least.)

My top-level is really broad and I stick hashtags into the body of notes I need to find easily as NC Notes search is full-text and pretty nice, so far.

But yeah, proper tags would be way better but less portable/strict MarkDown 🤔
