Logseq vs Skedda
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
Logseq's stable line is in a long, thin-release holding pattern.
Logseq's last year of releases on the 0.10.x line are mostly one- or two-line beta cuts: an Electron bump here, a YouTube embed fix there, a pdf.js bump that happens to close a remote-code-execution advisory. The pace is irregular (months between betas) and each release note is short. The most recent visible artifact is a nightly build with no specific changes called out.
The 0.10.x stable line is in maintenance mode — small dependency bumps, recurring fixes for the same surfaces (YouTube embeds appear in two separate releases), and stability patches for regressions introduced earlier in the same line. The energy in the project is clearly elsewhere; what's shipping to existing users right now is upkeep rather than direction.
Expect more 0.10.x betas at the same low cadence — primarily Electron bumps and embed/PDF fixes. The next directional signal will be a release that breaks the 0.10.x naming pattern; until then, treat existing builds as the steady state.
Skedda is closing the booked-vs-used gap with check-in automation and occupancy insights.
Skedda has spent the last two months building out the loop between bookings, actual presence, and analytics. The Companion App (Mac and Windows) detects when a user's laptop joins the office network and feeds auto check-in. The Insights tab now includes check-in rates, method breakdowns (WiFi, QR, email), and per-user and per-space drill-downs. Visit Types just landed for proper visitor categorization, and User Search on the map closes a frequently asked 'where is my colleague sitting' workflow.
The product is converging on workplace operations — not just bookings, but occupancy truth and visitor governance. The Companion App plus Check-in Insights attack the long-running hot-desk problem where bookings overstate actual usage. Visit Types and earlier Notification Rules are positioning Skedda for richer reception and security workflows, edging into the visitor-management territory dominated by Envoy.
Expect deeper coupling between occupancy data and space-optimization recommendations — likely under-utilization flags and right-sizing suggestions — alongside continued visitor-governance investment (badge printing, watchlists, NDA capture) to keep competing with dedicated visitor-management vendors.
