Logseq vs Hive
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.
Hive's quarter is mobile parity, with chat and dashboards getting tidied on the side.
Hive is in a steady incremental polish phase. The dominant thread is pulling more of the desktop experience onto mobile: workflow visibility, time tracking from action cards, Gantt views, and a beefed-up universal search all landed within a week of each other. Chat got a parallel set of refinements (inline video, file gallery, history preservation when members leave), and dashboards picked up median aggregation.
Hive looks focused on closing the desktop-mobile gap rather than opening new product surface area. Each mobile release individually is small, but together they push Hive toward being usable as a primary-not-secondary work surface on phones, which matters most for project managers who actually move around. Expect this cleanup arc to continue for at least another release cycle before strategic capabilities (AI, automation depth) reappear.
Next likely additions on mobile: editing or creating actions/workflows (currently view-only) and richer dashboard interaction. On the desktop side, a feature touching AI or workflow authoring is overdue given the cadence of small fixes.
