While making the note more complete in terms of metadata, it's redundant because it's supposed to be a personal wiki. Only one person is the assumed owner of them.

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 the Zettelkasten method with the emphasis for bidirectional linking.
|
|
|
|
It sports the following features:
|
|
|
|
- Backlinking of notes which are then used for creating a graph of related topics.
|
|
- A quick capture system for mobile experience (though it's not complete).
|
|
- A daily notes system, making this viable as a journal as well.
|
|
|
|
As such, Roam is a solid [[file:2020-04-15-14-35-55.org][Note-taking]] system that easily integrates as a [[file:2020-04-23-23-21-47.org][Personal information management]] system.
|
|
With the Zettelkasten-inspired system, you can use it to easily [[file:2020-06-04-21-32-23.org][Create evergreen notes with a digital garden]].
|
|
[fn:: Well, it is a glorified wiki with the focus for backlinks and knowledge graph.]
|
|
|
|
Roam is gaining popularity and more are considering to use it.
|
|
However, it is closed source and (thankfully) open source alternatives like [[https://github.com/jethrokuan/org-roam][Org-roam]], [[https://github.com/andjar/dokuroam/][Dokuroam]], and [[https://github.com/athensresearch/athens][Athens]] started to fill our Roam-voided hearts.

For seeing how Roam works, you can see the following videos by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvWic15iXjk][Nat Eliason on using Roam to quickly outline an article]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxOffM_tVHI][Thomas Frank covering the feature set of Roam]].
