Thinktool
5/1/2020
Sorry, I must be missing the point. Your post mentioned Roam-style linking -- which means [[links like this]]. That doesn't work in the demo.
I'm trying this on a Mac so maybe ThinkTool is Windo...
Can I get Keypoints this afternoon or tomorrow morning? LOL
I would be more than happy to move from MarginNote to Keypoints.

Your advices regarding TheBrain 11
4/23/2020
The free version of TheBrain gives you 30 days access to Pro services. That should be more than enough time to evaluate with your own data and work stream. Pro is rather expensive -- I wouldn't re...
On Obsidian's website, same link as posted earlier in this thread.

(My post was about Obsidian, not Roam.)

>Where did you see $240?
The pricing is insane. Simply arrogant. They have barely provided much more than a toy model so far. "Publish" is essential for me for these apps, but $240 annual is beyond realistic. Deleting the...
I think Erica and Shida are outstanding developers, though I'm concerned Obsidian might be a fling and not a thing -- since they are clearly splitting time between Dynalist and Obsidian. Extremely ea...
I experimented with export from Roam. It led me to consider that lock-in is going to be a major problem with Roam. The export of notes to markdown is minimally useful because all the inter-note lin...
TheBrain 11 - Beta Testing Started
4/15/2020
I agree -- they seem to have done some performance tuning and improved the synchronization reliability. They also rewrote the note editor -- it's sort of hybrid of markdown and rich text editing. I...
In fairness, Obsidian has only had a small handful of iterations, with no significant features posted to testers until four days ago. Even already it is available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The d...

Got the invite and the app. Very Erica. Simple and interesting design -- no doubt will evolve steadily. Not much point in thinking about using Roam now.

OK, so to cut through the mystery, this appears to be what the Roam Slackers are chatting about:

Not much yet, as noted, but applications are being taken there.

Is there something more you can say about this other than a hint? Who? Where? URL?

I have two blocks against doing anything substantial with Roam. First, the site seems flakey. Yesterday I waited 10+ minutes, twice during the day, while the site spun that compass-thingy before lo...
Strength and solidarity

Will probably want to avoid a cloud-based solution though -- the internet might become unreliable :-)
Wash your hands -- keep your distance -- and stay safe, everyone.

Adobe-worth prices? No, I don't think so yet. I've probably spent maybe $150 on OmniFocus base and upgrades over the last 10 years. No where near the cost of my minimalist "photographers" subscri...
I doubt the correlation. The U.S. (and global) economy is heading straight down; unemployment in the U.S. increased 6 million in one week, and some predict it might reach 30% within months. Not th...
Outliner for granular writing?

If I were doing this I would used software that supports "styles", so you can easily apply formatting, numbering, indentation, etc. to a block of text. For that, Microsoft Word comes to mind first, ...
infoqube update

Yes, I can read and follow instructions. Setup.exe is blocked by Defender on Windows 10 (v1903).

Thanks.
Apart from the Typora advice -- useful -- the thing I noticed is the quoted 11 "principles" for note-taking promulgated by "David Clear" (whatever his bona fides are). The joy of note takin...

Taskade

Ugh. Not competitive. Todoist, for example, offers recurring tasks at the free level, and for $3/month offers a load of features far better than Taskade, IMO.
Maybe not fair to compare, but when p...
