I think targeting a reasonably open standard (like Obsidian-flavored Markdown or LogSeq-flavored Markdown) might make sense.

Especially when paired with the ability to setup a regular backup schedule to be sent to an offsite location like Dropbox, Google Drive, or S3 (of the user’s choosing).

  • LogSeq in particular is open source and an outliner, like Tana. If the backup were to omit any Tana-specific nodes like search nodes, perhaps it’ll be good enough to retain at least the raw data in outliner form where the nodes’ bidirectional links are preserved.

  • Obsidian-compatible Markdown files where each top-level node is a Markdown file and children are bullets, could work too. Referenced nodes become block references, and inline references become [[wikilinks]], and search nodes stripped out.

I could live with either of those for data portability.

For images, the relative links should be preserved and all media should be exported to a folder. Obsidian should be able to handle this. I’m unsure about LogSeq, but there should be a way they handle images too.
