A terminal tool for Logseq journal entries

In plain words

lsq is a terminal tool that lets developers add quick notes to Logseq without leaving the command line. Built in Go, it works in both TUI and external editor modes, supporting Markdown and Org formats. It reads Logseq's configuration automatically, requires no setup beyond installation, and includes features like TODO and priority cycling directly in the terminal. The tool solves the workflow friction of switching between terminal and Logseq for rapid note-taking.

The ultra-fast CLI companion for Logseq designed to speed up your note capture directly from the terminal! go install github.com/jrswab/lsq@latest Make sure you have the location of the Go binaries in your $PATH. Run go env and find the variable called GOPATH . Then copy that location to your shell's $PATH if it's not already there. lsq This will open today's journal in your default editor for editing.

In the maker’s words, at launch

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…

  Gonzo – A Go-based TUI for log analysis (OpenTelemetry/OTLP support)2025 · github.com · ▲74

  We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

  LogsQL – opinionated query language for logs2024 · docs.victoriametrics.com · ▲61

  I don't like the existing query languages for Elasticsearch and Grafana Loki, because they are too awkward to use for typical logs' investigation cases. So I designed new query language - LogsQL - and wrote reference implementation for it as a part of VictoriaLogs - an open source database for logs. LogsQL is based on the following principles: - Simplicity. It is easy to write typical queries over logs in it. For example, a single word `error` is a valid LogsQL query, which returns all the logs with the `error` word. Another example is `_time:5m error`, which returns all the logs with the…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Lovable▲1,477

  Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

  I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
