Trying out a new tool: Roam Research

This morning I was introduced to Roam Research by Blair Wadman who kindly spent an hour talking through his setup. I’ve since spent some time playing with it and I’m impressed.

Roam is hard to explain. It’s a note-taking tool that uses an outline structure (think Workflowy), with powerful cross-linking capabilities making it easy to organise and find information. It’s setup like a journal, with today’s date at the top, which makes the concept even more appealing.

Nat Eliason has an excellent article on how he’s using Roam that would make a great starting point if you’re interested in learning more.
