Roam is Evernote back… in 2009
Potentially a better Evernote replacement than Notion
Roam Research has been on everyone’s minds in the last few weeks, and if you haven’t heard about it yet – where have you been?!
Yesterday, the platform even went down due to the traffic surge from Thomas Frank, a productivity YouTuber, and his guide to using the snazzy new note-taking tool and how it works in practice.
Roam’s rise to attention actually came as a surprise to me. Hidden beneath Notion’s hype, Roam found a niche with a set of users – not needing the overly powerful databases in Notion but a balance between Notion and Evernote, for personal note-taking.
The magic with Roam is all in the linked references. Inside Roam, you can build relationships between each of your notes. Connecting them makes recall, searching, and discovery so much more insightful – and something Evernote could have developed years ago.
