Multi-directional (incoming+outgoing) links (This is hard to see in most outliner note-taking tools, but Roam does it pretty well) Tree-based, but with external links, to allow for arbitrary network shapes (the basic "tree" outliner shape can be augmented with links to other parts of the network, without having to copy the whole sub-tree) This is essential so that persistence of the valuable knowledge stored in the application won't depend exclusively on its (fragile) internal tools, but can be managed as a system-level admin task. * copied, synched and backed-up with external file tools * edited with robust classic text editors My go-to list of requirements for a "personal thoughts" tool: That would be a non-starter for me personally.
Tagspaces vs zotero Offline#
The data portability / vendor lock-in aspect can be solved by supporting export into common formats, but this also functionally precludes offline use. I would potentially be willing to pay for a notes app, but as others have noted SAAS has some problems. If the Roam people are reading this thread, maybe think about adding a screenshot gallery, an interactive demo that doesn't need an account, and/or a demo video showing off the key features. I'm not going to create an account to spent 5 minutes fooling with something I may wind up not liking and never using again. But just the front-page doesn't really show enough to be sure if I would find it useful or not. It sounds like this tool would offer something like that. I've often wished to have a "graph" feature where notes could be linked together, and you could see some kind of cluster, or maybe do queries based on number of edges from something. (There's also TagSpaces, but the UI never really clicked with me). I use Joplin, mostly because it's the only thing I've found that has a client that works offline on Linux. A weakness however is that the links do not appear as hypertext in the body of the note but instead in a pop-up menu. You can also attach reading notes to the bibliographic entries themselves and have separate folders for project specific notes. I just have one folder that contains my notes and link them to each other. You can tag items and (bi-directionally) link related items, and add notes with its inbuilt HTML note system. I already ingest all the journal articles, book references, etc I read into it using the Zotero browser plugin. Without signing up all you can infer from the schematic and comments are that this is like a wiki that reports back-links.Īs a separate comment, I've had really great success using Zotero for this purpose. It would be helpful to have more information about the tool on the page rather than all of the testimonials (which don't really answer why this is better than something like WorkFlowy except that one references it). I came upon this while looking up things related to Zettelkasten or "card box" style note taking.
