So I'm really curious about @RoamResearch but I *just* got going with @BearNotesApp and honestly I'm pretty happy with it. Am I missing something? How do they compare? @Conaw

And philosophical difference here... The big point is that all other notes tools have the FILE as the primary unit. You think about what FILE to put a note in, and organize FILES in folders and tags Roam is about organizing ideas, file is incidentalhttps://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1198399750032232449?s=19 …

So I guess Bear technically has a “file” as the primary unit, although I don't generally “think about what file to put a note in”, I just start a new note for every note. It's mostly append-only for me (with a handful of exceptions)

IMO the most powerful idea that Roam encodes, relative to "normal" note tools, is that you'll develop ideas more effectively if (some) notes are durable units which evolve together, not append-only ephemera. This is hard; Roam changes the nouns & verbs to make it somewhat easier.
