Roam Research -- Recent Experience?

I'm a basic user, I'm probably just using 10% of what it's capable of.
But I do use it every day, in fact it's ...

I realise now why I got this impression. I confused Gemini sign-up with the NotebookLM sign-up process.
It's the Gemini terms that seemed too invasive to me. I just tried to sign up again and was con...

I see that the very first post here compared this to Dynalist. Looking at it now, it looks nothing like Dynalist or any obvious outliner or writing software.
As far as I can tell, this is some kind o...

In the article I linked to, the author used an Obsidian plugin that did the job (the Vault 2 Book plugin):

@satis, thank you very much for the thorough answer, it clarified a lot.
Well, I got myself an education discount and bought one of those high-end PCs (they are cheaper in the UK than the US, strange...

Hello Tomasz and Paul,
Thank you for the kind words, it's good to hear from you and see your posts, too!
Glad to hear that Obsidian works for you as a CT replacement.
Yes, the first time I heard ab...
Thank you for the explanation and for sharing your file, though you've managed to convince me to go with the first method :-)

Thanks, Bill,sounds interesting, made a note of that.
For now I'm not focusing on plugins yet, as I'm trying to think through what data to import and whether to use separate folders or not (or even ...

I guess one of my problems is that I stopped using CT...
Maybe I should add that my main need is to have a knowledge base, Zettlekasten, if you like, where I can have discrete notes with some annotations (tags, categories, images) and wiki links, and good s...
Hello, former CT users,

I bought a new Windows 11 laptop, and I'm wondering what software I should switch...
