Step 1 is going to the inboxIf we forget the formal zettelkasten method which is predicated on the notes eventually being published, then my current system makes it very easy to do in one pass. Using tags rather than folders or equivalent.
Step 2 is thinking about where it should be once it's in the inbox
I can't get from step 1 to step 2 in most cases. If I just do it without thinking about it, I get little idiosyncracies in how they're categorized. So my notes never get from the inbox to the archive referenced.-wraith808 (June 17, 2020, 03:02 PM)I don't spend time going through them trying to find ways of extending the notes. I only go through them when there's another purpose in mind. But if I have a new thought I add a new note - and the link will be obvious.
- If it's something not ever worth seeing again, it goes to the Attics (possibly I'll note why it's worthless).
- If it's not worth spending more time on, it goes to the Archive, usually with a few more tags.
- If I make a note, it goes to the Library. Note into the Scriptorium; I'll add links if I can think of them, but don't get hung upon it.

Do you mean the Zettelkasten notes *and* the reference database?I like this visual, it is helpful.-superboyac (June 16, 2020, 07:34 PM)
It is! Thanks for sharing - I can really see the workflow from this image. My only problem is the same thing that I have with everything- I can collect, but going through the collection is a problem for me. I need to do the first two steps at the same time.-wraith808 (June 17, 2020, 09:14 AM)-tomos (June 17, 2020, 12:03 PM)

something like that could work.. another option would be to find a small flat metal piece, and modify the 3d gear print to have an indentation where i could lay it in to be the bottom of the D bore -- since thats the place thats getting worn down.-mouser (June 16, 2020, 02:25 PM)
One thing I hope for is standardization of some of the newer features. Like double bracket style links, timestamps as references and automatic backlinking, autocompletion and highlighting tailored for note taking, and more. A superset of CommonMark with features for working with information in large sets of interrelated plaintext files.Standardisation in markdown?-Nod5 (June 14, 2020, 06:17 AM)-Dormouse (June 14, 2020, 12:29 PM)
Beloved Roamans:
Have a few major updates for you.
First - and most important - we shipped pricing yesterday for new users who wanted to get off the waitlist, but ROAM IS STILL FREE FOR YOU IF YOU AREN'T READY TO PAY.
Just scroll down past the pricing component that appears when you sign in. You'll see all the Roam "graphs" (databases - might change this term) you've created, and any shared ones that you've been added to.
Second - and I should have sent an update to all of y'all many weeks ago, but I've written a bit about the scaling problems we 5-7 weeks ago, and why we put the waitlist up in the first place.
For those of you who had days where you were locked out of your Roam with the dreaded infinite astrolabe, for those of you who had syncing problems and lost notes - I can't express my regret enough.
I do hope that our local backup system meant much less lost work than the first time we had scaling problems back in February - but my communication was way worse 6 weeks ago than it was the first time - and I'm very sorry you had to go through those problems without helpful communication from us.
Third - for you privacy oriented folks - and particularly for those of who want to roam with thoughts you can't trust to any 3rd party organization (state or trade secrets, info that could get you killed or thrown in prison) - we finally shipped local-only databases.
Right now this feature is only available for users on the Believer Plan - which might be a good incentive to upgrade - but we do plan to eventually make this available to everyone, even folks who got into the beta who aren't paying for any plan.
You can learn more about how local databases work here. tl;dr they work off the same local storage system we use that enables offline editing in normal Roam, we just don't send any data to our servers.
Now back to subject of pricing.
IF you are one of the people who have been wanting to give us money for ages (and thank you for reminding us of this so often!), you now can! When you sign in here, you'll see this pricing component and can pick a plan that works for you.
WARNING - if you change plans, our payment processor removes the free trial and you'll be charged right away.
IF that price is too much for you but you still want to pay - please fill out the ROAM SCHOLARS application form!
IF you do not want to pay - either because you aren't sure about Roam yet (what are you waiting for!) or you just want to milk the free plan as long as you can (shame on you for not supporting tool makers!) you do not need to worry, YOU CAN KEEP USING ROAM FOR FREE.
I know I've tweeted at points that we are keeping beta free for another month, but I've removed those tweets now, because honestly we aren't particularly thrilled to build a paywall anytime soon - and frankly have bigger features that we're more excited about (like full offline, a desktop app, the API, plugin support, and getting mobile apps).
Finally, if you haven't been relentlessly following us on social media, there have been a bunch of other huge updates in the past few weeks, and a ton of amazing things coming out of the community.
We shipped custom theming and CSS - and there have been some beautiful ones created by the community.
Here is a tweet thread with video instructions to set up themes, a link to where you can find the themes (and Paypal links to donate to the creators), and some screenshots of featured ones.
www.RoamPublic.com has launched (thank you Francis Miller of www.RoamBrain.com). It highlights public Roams with canonical texts - like the King James Bible, The Qur'an (in English and Arabic), the Mahabarata, and other great works - all formatted for easy import into your personal Roam.
As a warning, these texts are large, and will definitely slow down your database. To help deal with this, we also shipped an improvement to the ALL PAGES so that you can bulk delete pages, or export a subset of a graph - suggest you export only the sections of these public Roams you are most interested in, so that Roam is still reasonably quick for you to load on mobile, or with slow internet.
Have shipped a bunch of other small improvements and new features over the past few weeks. To learn more about those, check out our Change Log.
We also opened up a new forum and support site - since Slack was archiving all old messages.

I have similar in each vehicle and used them successfully on mine and other motorist's vehicles. The others motorists always amazed when I bust that out instead of jumper cables.-skwire (June 08, 2020, 01:10 AM)
Well, there has to be some separator between any content and the e-mail address, and that's most likely a space.-Ath (June 07, 2020, 12:33 PM)
