Roam Research
Roam Research
★ #159 in ProductivityThe original networked thought: bidirectional links, daily notes, a graph — Tana's older cousin for people who still want the outline that started it.
Product preview
Overview
Roam is Tana if the graph is the religion: every bullet links both ways, the day is a page. Logseq is the open one; this is the original paid graph.
It will not look new. It will still be the graph people mean. If networked thought should be the first one, this is PKM. If it should be supertags, Tana.
Pros / Cons
Pros
- The graph people still mean
- Bidirectional by default
- Daily notes as pages
- Outline that started a category
Cons
- Looks dated
- Paid, web-first
- Not Tana's live searches
Who it's for
The original networked daily notes
A graph of bullets
Leaving Tana for the first graph
PKM as bidirectional links
Bottom line
The original graph — Roam if networked thought should be first, Tana if it should be typed.
