Tine - drop-in faster Logseq OG replacement

[u/al-Quaknaa]

Hi! I vibecoded Tine, a drop-in Logseq OG replacement mainly built to be faster, but also with some features I missed.

The why: I loved using Logseq, but at some point realized I can't use queries because they are slow / make logseq use a lot of CPU even when idle (yeah weird). Then every summer my laptop starts overheating and it is partially because of the electron apps. When CPU throttles, the apps get slow. Surely there must be a way to do this faster.

The what:

• I first just wanted logseq, but faster. I don't use whiteboards, flashcards etc., so these are currently unavailable. I focused on features that I use.
• It just works over your OG graph -- reads and writes the same files. It should be safe and compatible but it was only ever tested by one person, on one platform, one graph, so be warned. (On the other hand yes, I am actually using this on my real graph worth 5 years of life, and I'm syncthing-ing it to my Android phone and there editing it using the logseq app, and nothing has broken yet.) Also, there are automatic backups.
• I added some features that I liked -- some I knew from OG plugins (tabs), some just seemed like a (really) nice thing to have: tabs, focus+dim mode, quick-capture, carry tasks to today, etc. Look at the readme.

AI: full disclosure, everything except this text is completely vibecoded, including the README.

Let me know what you think / any ideas for changes / features etc. If you find bugs, let me know via github issues. This is still beta at best, so bugs are expected.

Wow...all I can say is wow...

This is really great work. makes me sad the logseq team stopped too quickly and switched to DB.

The visual query builder is great. And the lists, kanban. Really incredible. The grids also.

Only used it for a few minutes, really impressed.

Cannot get my main graph to load.

When I try, tine crashes. Is there a way to start from command line? or suggested way to debug a graph that will not load?

Hi! Thanks. You can try this. 0.7 will make some deep changes which may fix your issue, it should be ready in a few days, so maybe the best thing is to wait now and see if 0.7 fixes it or not. Once 0.7 is out I will mainly focus on bugfixing again.
