Ehh... Why I didn't think of those things but here we are. They are going to stay for a little while. Also, there's a slight shift in how I want use my wiki now. Instead of trying to craft every note into a set of evergreen notes. While Andy Matuschak's notes are very practical, it also focuses too much on crafting evergreen notes (a bit too much). Or maybe that was just my impression? Either way, I'll let some of my thoughts to drift if it able to link somewhere in the notes. I think I'm getting the point of Luhmann's original use of Zettelkasten as a research partner.

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.
