Foam: A free Roam alternative for VSCode
- fouc 1y ago> Foam is a personal knowledge management and sharing system inspired by Roam Research, built on Visual Studio Code
- metayrnc 1y agoAfter reading the README, the only missing thing seems to be the equivalent of Dataview from Obsidian. Will wait for something like it before considering switching.
- pivic 1y agoSpeaking of which, have you seen the new Bases feature in Obsidian? https://help.obsidian.md/bases https://help.obsidian.md/bases Reminiscent of Dataview.
- alessandroberna 1y agoThat looks awesome!
- sputknick 1y agoI tried switching to this a few years ago, but switched back to Obsidian. My problem was actually the strongest feature: the VS Code integration. Only about a third of my note taking is related to software development, so for me going into VS Code the other 2/3rd of the time was clunky. If 100% (or close to it) of your note taking is software related, this is a great product.
- nchmy 1y agoI used both from, essentially, day 1 and had a similar experience. Obsidian is just fantastic and I vastly prefer keeping it separate from my coding, even for coding-related notes. Though, once in a while I'll open the notes in VS Code just to make use of things like better find/replace, regex etc... - especially globally.

- schonfinkel 1y agoThis is what made explore orgmode altogether and got me addicted to Emacs.
- mtzaldo 1y agoIs vscode the new electron?
- fouc 1y agoHa! That's ironic because VS Code is built on electron.
