Show HN: A terminal tool for Logseq journal entries

35 points · jrswab · 7 days ago

Creator here. I built lsq to solve a simple but annoying workflow problem: having to leave the terminal just to make quick notes in Logseq.

Technical details: - Written in Go using Bubble Tea for the TUI - Reads Logseq's config.edn for format preferences - Supports both external editor ($EDITOR) and TUI modes - Handles both Markdown and Org formats

Core design decisions: 1. Zero-config default installation (uses standard ~/Logseq path) 2. Single command to open today's journal (just 'lsq') 3. TUI mode for Logseq-specific features (TODO/priority cycling)

The project started as a simple editor launcher but evolved to include a TUI when I realized certain Logseq features couldn't be easily replicated in a standard text editor.

Code and installation instructions are in the repo. Feedback and contributions welcome.

As a semi-aside: Are there headless tools for interacting with Logseq databases, especially queries? This would be super useful for automations.

Awesome. I was just looking for something like this this week. I was thinking logseq + nvim + textual but bubbletea is also great.
