* Logseq exists to increase the knowledge output of humanity.
We're building a better environment for learning and collaboration. We're currently building a neuron inspired knowledge base/personal knowledge assistant that captures, synthesizes, searches, and creates knowledge as fast as you think–a digital extension of your brain. We don't think in pages and folders, but today's tools do. It's slowing us down. Logseq gets you to answers and smarter decisions faster.
* A Leader in the Tools for Thought space
We're a leader in the Tools for Thought space (with a unique focus on privacy and data ownership)––delivering on the pioneering work of Douglas Englebart, Alan Kay, Bret Victor, Vannevar Bush, and more. We're continuing the mission of augmenting human intellect and collective intelligence with computers, discovering novel UI + HCI and superpowers to do so :) More on our mission here: https://adventurous-ragdoll-1e0.notion.site/Who-is-Logseq-2c...
* Ownership and Autonomy
As Logseq's first designer, you will immediately have substantial ownership of the feel and functionality of the product. We're building a new way to think, which requires considerable tradeoff consideration and thoughtful user driven design. You will own our first design systems, early design processes, foundational product decisions and more. We're aiming to build a new knowledge tool for billions of people to change the world: empathy, systems thinking, intense level of polish are prerequisite.
If you're passionate about Tools for Thought or making humanity smarter, would love to hear from you!
ABOUT:
Logseq exists to increase the knowledge output of humanity.
We're currently building a neuron inspired knowledge base/personal knowledge assistant that captures, synthesizes, searches, and creates knowledge as fast as you think–a digital extension of your brain. We don't think in pages and folders, but today's tools do. It's slowing us down. Today, it's basically a private, open source, local first version of Roam Research. More about our future and team on twitter @logseq or at https://adventurous-ragdoll-1e0.notion.site/Who-is-Logseq-2c...
Feel free to shoot something over to [email protected] if interested or with any questions!
This one is interesting, cause it really depends who you mean by "significant" The first author is generally the primary researcher. The last author is generally the PI of the entire lab, and the person of highest status in the lab.
Interesting point, I do really enjoy the spatial aspect of graphs being incorporated into many knowledge tools now. I guess the valuable insight is that if 1D is bad and unwieldy, what’s a good alternative? Like a bulletin board?
Right! On one hand going deeper and back out of a though feels so much more natural, just like our brain branches off and returns back. But we are so used to paragraph based text due to its history and it feels more familiar. I like how in Notion you can indent and deindent normal paragraphs but that still doesn’t feel totally fluid, I’m not sure what it is. Maybe different modes or views for each is closer to the ideal?
We’re actually building the desktop app and local storage is almost done for the web app over at https://logseq.com ! We’re using the new Filesystem API so look forward to many of these tools supporting local storage in the future!
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be sure to check your app out!
Your approach is also kind of similar to Joplin (joplinapp.org), another open source, privacy-focused, and cross-device app, but you have more features.
Super excited to share this with HN! We're building a privacy centric networked knowledge base for knowledge management and sharing, where you own your data! Come say hi in our discord!
