Roam Research

• [[go]] roamresearch.com
• Probably the lead in the [[personal knowledge management]] space.
• It is like a personall [[wiki]] with the following extra features:
  • [[backlinks]]: very important.
  • [[block references]]: important in that they are [[transclusion]].
• Unfortunately not [[open source]]. Has an [[extension ecosystem]] but that’s also closed.
  • I find this worrying.
  • [[athens research]] tries to be an [[open source]] [[roam research]] — and more.
  • See [[wikilinking tools]] for other alternatives.
• [[pull]] [[roam likes]]

"A note-taking tool for networked thought. As easy to use as a document. As powerful as a graph database. Roam helps you organize your research for the long haul."

I currently use Roam for my private note taking. I practice making a daily [[Worklog]], taking notes on meetings, running a lightweight CRM, and managing my personal TODOs with it.

Roam Research is a prominently used networked tool for thought. Roam’s early community connected many from the PKM, academic, and hacker spaces, who have built out an ecosystem of workflows and extensions alongside the platform. [[R- Roam can loosely be considered a DSL with a structural editor]] atop its Clojure base.

Roam’s aim is to augment collective intelligence over a long (50 years) time horizon, which has led to delays in desired user-facing updates. This has caused some early users to seek alternatives, and a spring of open source and alternative hypertext tools have arisen as competitors.
