Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Roam Research

Roam Research is a newly developing tool created by Conor White-Sullivan that focuses on creating a graph of notes instead of the traditional hierarchical system of most note-taking systems. It is largely inspired from Zettelkasten that comes along with the following features.

  • Backlinks which are then used for creating a graph of related topics.
  • A quick capture system for mobile experience.
  • A daily notes system, making this viable as a journal as well.

As such, Roam is a solid note-taking system that easily integrates as a personal information management system. With the Zettelkasten-inspired system, you can use it to create a wiki similar to Wikipedia (e.g., Digital gardens). 1

Roam is gaining popularity and more are considering to use it. However, it is closed source and (thankfully) open source alternatives like Org-roam, Logseq, and Dendron started to fill our Roam-voided hearts.

Well, it is a glorified wiki with the focus for backlinks and knowledge graph.
