The README presents Logseq as a privacy-first platform for networked notes and knowledge management.

Source: https://github.com/logseq/logseq

What it supplies: The README presents Logseq as a privacy-first platform for networked notes and knowledge management.

Useful for: - Keep notes and tasks in a personal knowledge base.
- Extend with plugins and themes, and use the mobile apps.

First action: - Download the latest release, install it and start writing.
- To try the DB version, use the web app or the nightly desktop build.

Prerequisites and limits: The README text read gives no system requirements.

- The DB version is beta and data loss is possible; back up your graph.
- The mobile app and RTC are alpha.

The README text read does not name the licence in prose, so check the repository licence file.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on opening, database-version, why and how-to-use README text only; other sections were not read in full. Nothing was installed or run.
