So it's like workflowy but with transclusion links? I like the premise so far. I've used workflowy half-assedly for years and this zettlekasten thing sounds similar to how I do index cards though way too disciplined.

Not sure I like bulleted lists as the first class citizen. My basic unit is the paragraph and I don't think in lists well. We'll see. There's a soft line break within a bullet point, but no way to just have an unbulleted prose chunk as a page it seems.

What's with this Daily Note thing... is it a soft prompt to create a journal-like log as a throughline for non-chronological notes? Slightly unclear on how this is not a wiki.

My first expt is to try and bring notes from Scrivener for my book project over. I have a folder called "nuggets" that I'm porting manually. Copying smaller fragments to roam and moving larger chunks to a different Scrivener folder. Roam is clearly not for composing long texts.

This thing needs Hebbian synapses. I'm creating a big pile of chaos here, in large part because most of the organization is latent, in rhymes and associations that don't have strong overlap in vocabulary. Still unlinked-mentions is a sort of ersatz Hebbian synapse mechanism

Replying to @vgr @RoamResearch
They have a bit of that. When you embed a block, they show next to the block how many times it's been referenced

huh, so they're doing real transclusion at body text level rather than just updated titles in bidirectional links... I guess that's worth the centralized platform commitment. I kinda decided transclusion is intractable on an open standard.
