Roam Research is a note taking and knowledge development application. Roam uses bi-directional links to connect and reveal relationships between your notes. Its flexibility and list of innovative features mean that it has many other uses within the personal productivity ecosystem as well, on its own or in combination with other apps. These other uses include goal and project management, task management, information management and writing.
Roam’s power comes from its ability to connect and organize your notes and information, act as a central repository for your information and knowledge which can then be utilized in many different areas.

PAGE REFERENCES COUNTER
I just realized that my own Page References Counter extension for @RoamResearch does something cool that I hadn't thought of:
it takes just one click to open a page in the main window AND its linked references in the sidebar, or insert a reference AND open its linked references. pic.twitter.com/ZzkyLJssio

ROAM & READWISE FOR TWEETS
If you have @readwise, you can send tweets/threads to your @RoamResearch.
But the tweets are not searchable. The handy Tweet Extract plug-in solves for this in a few quick steps – pic.twitter.com/G77A28shW2

ChatGPT to Roam Importer
ChatGPT is your PKM wingman.
But without search history, it means a LOT of copy-paste.
So I created a little script to convert my history into a @RoamResearch friendly import file.https://t.co/shF2PUXZmU
Won't be useful for long, but it's nice for now. Enjoy!

NOTES ARE MEMORY POINTERS
Most notes ARE pointers to memory
Expanding them out to point that they can transmit to others is extremely labor intensive, but maybe exactly the kind of thing LLM can facilitate
