Hi everyone, we know a lot of people have questions about the coming database version, like why we’re developing it, and why it takes so long.

We apologize for spending almost all the time on developing it without communicating it well with the community. This post will try to answer some of those questions.

Everyone loves plain-text files, and with tools like Git and Obsidian, we can use them in conjunction with Logseq. However, there are some limitations:

Templates and properties make it easy to add new books, papers, and more, but they’re difficult to maintain and collaborate on.

Our vision is to create a better environment for learning and collaboration. The current app falls short of our goals, with limitations including:

We received so much love and support from you guys that it’s unacceptable that Logseq still loses data. We wanted to do better so we started to build a solid foundation for the future: the database version, the goals are:

We’ve also decided to develop the new database version with real-time collaboration (RTC) in parallel, as implementing RTC with offline support is extremely complex. By considering RTC early in the design process, we can minimize the risks of having to change our implementation later on.
