Sadly, these are my thoughts as well. I've got so much already in logseq though, and I really like the model. Right now I'm thinking I'll just stay on version one as long as possible. Not being able to use Claude or codex anymore to write or update pages is a real deal breaker for me.

Does anyone know of a fork a version one that plans to continue?

Some people have placed their LogSeq DB inside a Obsidian Vault and .. moved on.

While I like using .md files, I can understand the perspective of needing database level syncing.

I haven't kept up with it, not sure why the existing Logseq didn't quietly start using a database internally, and also output .md files too to have both worlds.

Syncing text files can, does and most often will break given enough complexity and multi-device usage, especially with the most basic use case of using a daily note on multiple locations at the same time.
