Logseq
An open local-first knowledge tool organizing Markdown or Org files through journals, hierarchical blocks, backlinks, queries, whiteboards, and plugins.
Why use it
Solo developers can continuously record design decisions, evidence, and tasks while linking mechanics, characters, and test results through references.
Where it fits
Use prototypes and playtests to find core experience problems while they are still cheap to fix.
What to check
Test sync, collaboration, and plugin stability carefully, and expect a learning curve for complex queries; local files are not automatic backups.
