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
Please keep on sharing your experience. I think I have a style similar to yours (paragraph-first, etc) and I see a lot of potential in Roam — I just couldn't make it work for me yet.

Replying to @inpathos @RoamResearch
I'm definitely not going to try writing in this. It just seemed potentially a better way to capture early stage chaos for larger projects.

Curious if document view -- and things like version control at the paragraph level, and headings etc impact whether you'd do real writing here. Making order out of chaos is definitely our focus area though, so even if we just help there it's a win

I don't think you should try. It would work for composition of very formal documents with a lot of structure, but get in the way of more stream-of-consciousness type writing where seeing the structure too explicitly ruins the flow rather than enables it
