TL:DR; Has anyone here successfully migrated their data & workflow from Logseq to Silverbullet?
… wall of text follows …
I’ve been using Logseq for a few years and it has been a life saver at work, trying to track the stuff going on - honestly, I’d have burned out if I hadn’t found it.
However, I still haven’t quite got all the things organised and I feel Logseq’s development is taking a different track that I don’t want to go down (db, collab, etc)
SilverBullet.md appears to be developing into the solution I’m looking for… although I don’t want a server-client architecture, so I’m running it standalone at the moment.
But, the learning curve feels so steep it’s tending to curve back on itself… or… I’m just too busy to focus on learning it.
I see how the file structure works, but I don’t understand how the templates, journals, etc work (really simple.in Logseq)
It appears to be 1 person developing this with lots of helpers who all seem happy to chip in with some AI generated code in the forum, but no meaty documentation, examples, etc.
If you’ve read this far… is it worth sticking with? Is there an FAQ I’ve missed? Any pointers or encouragement…?
It seams tempting, because Silverbullet does look nice, but unless you want to become a maintainer I would not recommend you adopting it. Every maintainer is always just one step away on losing interest. There can be external factors like job change or internal factors like another interesting project. Both you have no control over and both are totally fine, because the maintainer doesn‘t owe you anything. Also especially in web dev the next breaking update requiring a lot of rework is just around the corner.
TLDR;So try it out, may be have a look at the code, but don‘t make yourself dependent on it.
