Have you got the auto-generation going on Browser links yet? Those are my faves.
You can use the %FrontBrowserTitle% and %FrontBrowserURL% variables + a bit of variable rearranging to auto-generate Roam-friendly links and add custom tags based on what hotkeys you hit.

Oh yup noticed you just posted the video above. But the images I just posted about take it up a level. No need to highlight + copy the article title and URL. Those built-in variables do it for you :)

Other handy ones are putting in a basic "open roam in a new right-hand window" hotkey, and a starter query syntax snippet (because I can never remember that formatting)

Great examples. At this point I use KM for page templates, my daily notes (including queries), and common links to local documents. Did you notice the PDF viewer that got activated yesterday?

Ooh no. What the PDF viewer? Do tell.

Oh gosh... That's a lot
Do I want a whole PDF in my Roam?
Unless it's got highlighting + copy/paste text features, I think I'm sticking with the native mac Preview app.

Do you have a write-up anywhere of your KM approach to "formalizing" Roam?

Not yet, sorry. All my KM-Roam system demos are messily spead over Twitter.

Working on a web revamp that will make it 10x easier to post that kind of thing in a collected, organised place though. Eg. a "digital garden" - hopefully finishing up the 1.0 version this weekend
