Block editor, wiki-links, GitHub-backed. No Electron app required.
Logseq is a powerful outliner-style PKM tool — but it's primarily a desktop Electron app with complex sync setup. motion takes the browser-first approach: everything runs in your browser tab, your notes live in a GitHub repo you own, and there's no app to install or sync plugin to configure.
