Outlining in Obsidian
4/14/2021
I felt that this plugin deserved its own thread, since it was earlier posted to another discussion where it was a bit off-topic. It seems someone has written an outliner plugin for Obsidian that is de...

There is a third party solution to do this on Roam:

Seems the reason it got 5.6 million US in seed money is the fact that they want to leverage your data for marketing:

I also got an invite to...
Roam's new Backend
4/11/2021
Interesting discussion about Roam’s backend. The current one was designed for rapid deployment, but now it is clear that they need something more robust to support a mobile app, API, speed, etc....
Obsidian mobile app in alpha testing

Wow. Now THIS is something that might make me switch back. I'll have to give it a try...

Great work. Even if I don't use it myself, I'm glad to see it out in the world!
Zooming in Craft
4/2/2021
I've been playing a bit with the Mac / iOS app Craft: https://www.craft.do/
One thing I find interesting/frustrating is that while it isn't a bad outliner, zooming in on a block doesn’t zoom i...

Looks like it could be an interesting Evernote competitor. Too bad there is no mobile app.
Transno
3/22/2021
A bit of history.
Mubu was a Chinese outliner app that was bought by ByteDance (famous as the company behind Tiktok) back in 2018. They then relaunched it under the Singapore based Transno, although ...
Zenkit Hypernotes - closed beta
3/11/2021
Reads like it was a press release from Zenkit... Glad they mention Roam, but there is no sense of how exactly this is a clone... down to the language and syntax used to describe various parts of the s...
Zenkit Hypernotes - closed beta
3/11/2021
Thanks. I see it now. I didn't realize that the / menu scrolled.
Weird thing is that if you get a task, it doesn't tell you if it is done or not. And when you click on it, the task interface takes ov...

I could not understand how to make this work.

One concern is lock-in. I don’t see any export options right now.
Zenkit Hypernotes - closed beta
3/10/2021
Interesting. They have a lot of key Roam features right off the bat. Other than Noteplan, it is the only such app right now to have a nice mobile app, and unlike NotePlan it is based around hierarchic...
Tree app - macOS

Interesting. Dashword is also a Windows app, but no mobile apps.
Moo.do
3/2/2021
If I can, I'll try to write up a separate post on it, so as not to hijack this thread, but the short answer is that I solve two problems: (1) integration with Todoist (that offers some features Roam d...

Looking at their blog, it seems that they their strategy of betting everything on Google/Gmail backfired when changes to Google broke the hooks they used to integrate with Gmail. They later came up wi...
Dynalist enters the "hobby work" phase
2/27/2021
I like the idea of Dynalist 2.0 and I hope they work on it at some point. I'd love to see what they do. Personally I need something that is built around a basic outliner framework rather than trying t...
Experience with M1 (ARM) Macs?
2/26/2021
I love my M1 MBP. For me the most amazing thing is battery life. I can use it all day without being plugged in, and I still have 2-6 hours left on it when I turn in for the night. My old MBP, doing th...
This open source Roam Research clone is now open use:
https://twitter.com/AthensResearch/status/1364380119763013636
It is still very basic though. For instance, no Roam import yet. A lot of people s...
You might look at Roam Research and Obsidian as well as Dynalist and Workflowy. Each is a bit different, but I think you can do many similar things with them.
Markmap

Markmap seems to be a set of codes to turn Markdown files into mindmaps. I believe there is an Obsidian plugin as well.

Programming Roam
1/16/2021
Someone has created a set of scripts that allow you to use Todoist's inbox as a tool to quickly capture items to your Roam database, even from your phone. Just add something to your Inbox and add the ...
Going to Attempt All-in with Dynalist
12/28/2020
I've seen it on Twitter, Reddit, and the Slack channel. Basically, you can keep your existing graphs, but can't create any new ones without paying.
I like Obsidian a lot, and I like the developers a...
Going to Attempt All-in with Dynalist
12/27/2020
That makes sense. I was an early user of Roam so I have access to a free "graph" (as they call each database) which they say I can use indefinitely without paying. If I didn't I'm not sure if I'd be w...
