Create a unified format for my wiki. Unfortunately, since most of my notes are created on a whim and I don't care much about metadata at the time, the timestamps are only approximations from my memory.

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 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 Note-taking system that easily integrates as a Personal information management system. With the Zettelkasten-inspired system, you can use it to easily Create evergreen notes with a digital garden. 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, Dokuroam, and Athens started to fill our Roam-voided hearts.
For seeing how Roam works, you can see the following videos by Nat Eliason on using Roam to quickly outline an article and Thomas Frank covering the feature set of Roam.
Well, it is a glorified wiki with the focus for backlinks and knowledge graph.
