How I Use Logseq for Software Projects

A developer’s guide to managing code, decisions, and notes without losing your mind

I’ve been using Logseq for a while now. It started as a way to track my life — trips, yearly reviews, financial goals. But somewhere along the way, I realized the same system that helped me remember where I traveled in 2010 could also help me remember why I made a particular architectural decision six months ago.

Software projects are uniquely brutal on my memory. I get asked questions on why I made certain decisions six months ago and my mind goes blank! Sometimes I want to understand a codebase written by someone else and want to draw out the architecture. Notes help, but scattered notes in ten different places help about as much as no notes at all.

Here’s how I use Logseq to fix that.

Why Logseq Works for Developer Workflows

Most note-taking tools treat notes as documents. Logseq treats them as a graph. Every page can link to every other page, and those links are bidirectional — meaning if you mention [[Auth Service]] inside a meeting note, the Auth Service page automatically knows it was referenced.
