I did - it's slicker with better UX for sure, but technically what's different?
- physicsyogi 7y agoIt looks like the main differences are the bidirectional links and the automated creation of those links.
- frakkingcylons 7y agoBi-directional links are visible if you go to the What Links Here [0] section of a page. Notably though it doesn't include "unlinked references" (as Roam refers to it), which is quite useful.

- trynewideas 7y agoYou can still fish that up if you need to either from the UI's search or the search API, but in poking Roam that felt like a potential anti-feature around ambiguous terms, for instance with no clear way to flag a particular reference as not relevant to a term.
- conaws 7y agoBlocks (paragraphs with subtrees) as first class objects with uids that can be pointed to. Pages as filterable collections of backlinks from blocks. A datalog engine for structured data via attributes. Collaborative real time editing. But you're mostly right - UX that comes from that is the thing that matters.
