Let's be cautious where we attribute credit. Daily journaling has been a thing for, oh, centuries.

At the very least Zim has had the same journal feature dating back over a decade. I'm sure others can't point to similar software stretching back at least another decade before that.

I haven't used Zim, but from a cursory look it doesn't seem like it has any way to query its daily journal entries. In Logseq your daily journal might contain a dozen todos, bulleted project notes, and random thoughts all mixed together, but you don't need to look at the day's entry to find them again. Instead you run a query against all your notes to collect stuff where it's relevant.
