If anyone is looking for a free alternative to Roam for personal use, checkout Obsidian.md. It supports importing from Roam, has backlinks, graph view, custom themes and most importantly is super fast since it's a desktop application. It's built by the makers of Dynalist.
Was on Dynalist, moved to Roam, and jumped to Obsidian without knowing it was the Dynalist team. Still on the transition; Obisdian's focus on document vs outline means I have to shape my notes more towards paragraphs instead of pointers and bullet points. Liking it so far, but still wishing I can have it on web instead of an app; I don't really care about offline capability, I need the backlink capability, and I like having multiple note views. That's most of it.
I was curious about your call-out about personal use, so I checked out the license. It reads as though 'personal use at work' might not be permitted without purchasing a license.
> If you use OBSIDIAN for work-related activities in a company with two (2) or more employees, you must obtain a commercial license.
Awesome. A feature suggestion. Add option for users to enter details of their laptop, keyboard, mouse model etc when they submit the photo. You can probably create a rank list of popular gear from this. Also can link the gear to Amazon and make some money via referral links ;)
Good read, thank you for sharing. About all types of tracking, GPS tracking is a constitutional right violation. I mean, how come FBI needs a warrant to track your car, and a boss doesn't...
I observed that it shows results like 'Indie', 'Indians' etc. , when you type 'India', until you press <enter>. On pressing <enter> there is a finality to the search, and it removes other possibilities.
