Perhaps this is all true. My main point, which was lost in my example of [[Red Wine]], was more about it being too easy to create new pages.
In Evernote, I've tried to get away from creating notes on every random new thought, and started towards maintaining more useful large notes -- a list of books I want to read, instead of 50 pages that mention a book all tagged with "#books-to-read", for example.
To me, this seems like moving back the other way -- it encourages you to create those 50 pages, because they all can be "linked" to each other.
I guess I'd have to try it to know, but I feel like, for me personally, information would be lost.
- pps 7y agoIt will not be lost. Don't only give it a try, but force it to work for you and it will. I changed my process of writing in Roam multiple times, each time it was more optimised for me and weirder to explain for other people. I have GTD system that finally, after years of trying in every other existing software, works exactly like I want. It looks way different than any example of "GTD in Roam" I found so far - those examples could be reimplemented in Dynalist/Workflowy/other outliners - mine can't, it requires these mentions on the bottom and editable block references from other pages in my main dashboard page. But I didn't design it, it created itself. Explore and you will find your own ways. If you like simple lists then create simple lists without any links, that's perfectly fine, you can always change things later. I'm personally doing way less linking than author of that blog post, I don't feel like I'm forced. You can do there much more than that blog post describe and Roam docs also sucks in explaining what else than writing you can do so it might be a good idea to look for videos in Youtube, Roam dev created some demos and was also interviewed with demo presentations.
- conaws 7y agoOne of the devs here - totally true, our help docs and landing page don't really show half of what you can do. Help docs have a lot if you dig around though. Heres a link https://roamresearch.com/#/v8/help/page/1wnq-ZAAN https://roamresearch.com/#/v8/help/page/1wnq-ZAAN Really appreciate users like pps who do the work of figuring out how to make Roam work for them at this early stage.
