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.

Replying to @vgr @RoamResearch
I'm just hearing about Roam for the first time. I am definitely still unclear on how this is not just a wiki... Now that you've had more time with it, do you think you have a better handle on the differences?

It's faster to use than a wiki. Doesn't require you to think about categorization before you start writing.

With a private/personal wiki, you don't have to categorize if you don't want to. :) I'm curious about "faster to use" though! Maybe I'll have to poke around at it…

If you look for reasons to switch, you’ll find them. If you look for reasons not to switch you’ll find those too. That’s how you know it’s a genuine advance. It’s neither old wine in a new bottle, nor different for the sake of different.
