I've also heard of Athens [https://github.com/athensresearch/athens#athens] which is similar to Roam and can be self hosted. I haven't compared it to logseq though.


I actually used Athens for several months and then switched over to logseq once I found it. They're quite similar in functionality, though logseq is a bit further along in my opinion (e.g., the task management and time tracking is more advanced in logseq). Which I was fine with not having in Athens. What ultimately pushed me towards switching was the fact that logseq stores notes in plaintext, whereas Athens notes are stored in these difficult to parse .bkp files. Having the ability to easily write scripts to do whatever with my notes is important for me. Also, not a technical point, but the developer of logseq seems like a really nice guy! :) (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUGV8HL-poQ)
