@JoeBuhlig @draftsapp I’ve definitely thought about it. There’s SO MUCH to talk about.
@HCMarks @draftsapp I would insta-subscribe. Would consider cohosting but I’ve said yes too many times already.

I would listen to a weekly podcast about @draftsapp. Hell, I would start one.
Twitter needs to stop taking itself seriously sometimes.
@JoeBuhlig I have... from both of them. They like turn around and fart in your face.
@kjaymiller I know some nice older couples that would be offered a pet if that happened regularly.
It’s Saturday. Becky’s out of town. So, of course, we make chocolate chip cookies with too many chips. 🤷🏻♂️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdcFAuHbsY/?igshid=1nsalpied0vxo
We’re one hour out! https://twitter.com/analogrevenge/status/1317491244369588225
@JoeBuhlig CamLinks are awesome. I have a few extra ones I am not using since I got the ATEM.
@bodiequirk Yes. But in the long run, I want to hook up a DSLR, record 4K, and be more flexible in what I use it for.
Ordered an Elgato Cam Link this morning. Time to turn my phone into a legit 1080p60 webcam. 🤓
Quick reminder that in 24 hours we get to explore the notebook of @HCMarks!

A project I'm working on... https://twitter.com/grithixhosting/status/1317135601381027849
@JoeBuhlig @JWellsCFO This is fair, and something I’m actively concerned about. But I’ve only just started and I want to track the “coming out” part as time goes on.
Ideally, Roam becomes my own personal Google before an actual Google search. But we’ll see.
@joshuaginter @JWellsCFO Would love to see this part of your system over time. I do something similar with searching but it’s with plain text files on local folders.
@JoeBuhlig @joshuaginter Short term vs. long term. More work now building in backlinks to make connecting ideas easier in the future. Or a big waste of time feeling like you're actually doing work when you're not. Could go either way.
@JWellsCFO @joshuaginter I think that’s part of my concern. That this is another Evernote situation with the Collector’s Fallacy. A lot going in, with very little (or nothing) coming out.
@JoeBuhlig @joshuaginter This is what every productivity nerd (I use this term lovingly; I’m one too) does: you’re trying to make the tool fit your workflow, but Roam/Zettlekasten seek to disrupt the workflow. If it doesn’t work for you, move on.
@JWellsCFO @joshuaginter Can’t say I’m trying to make it fit. I’m trying to understand how others are using it. The more I learn about it, the less I want to use it. It seems to complicate simple workflows. Thus, my questioning.
@JoeBuhlig @joshuaginter If they’re little bits, Josh’s point about formatting shouldn’t be a deal breaker.
@JWellsCFO @joshuaginter I think I come at this very different. When I have a bit of info to go into an article, I put it in an article in a raw text file that I access from a few different tools. The concept of splitting them out and then attempting to reconnect with links is a lot of work.
@JoeBuhlig @joshuaginter You don’t write directly from your permanent notes. Lumahnn didn’t! (His were physical notecards.)
The permanent notes inspire writing.
Roam excels at capturing, organizing, and connecting notes. I’m not sure why you’d want to export any of that anywhere.
@JWellsCFO @joshuaginter That’s a solid point. Wouldn’t it make sense to copy the little bits into a formal writing tool, though
@JoeBuhlig If there is one thing Roam is not good for, it’s writing in. It even has version control! But what it exports is garbage and it doesn’t work well with any other Markdown program I’ve found.
@joshuaginter One of the aspects of a Zettelkasten that most refer to is the ability to increase the output of writing pieces. If writing is something Roam isn’t good for, is it not serving its purpose?
Or is it one of those that accidentally fills an unintentional void?
Today's author takes us on a decluttering tour of our own houses and apartments, showing us how to decide what to get rid of and what to keep. Join Joe...
@JoeBuhlig Do you have a particular hole you’re looking to fill in your note-taking workflow?
@joshuaginter No. I think that’s the problem. Writing is in nvUltra, book notes and ideas in the Bullet Journal. Random thoughts and such go into a bank of potential articles in markdown files.
@JoeBuhlig Yes. Yes. And… yes.
I actually mean everything.
So that includes screenshots, mind maps created in Muse and saved as a PDF, quotes, articles (entire articles, or just links), photographs, book notes, ideas, lists, emails.
I’ve been trying to save… everything.
@joshuaginter Dude! You’re not messing around.
The bulk of those I keep as raw files in local directories. Maybe that’s why I struggle to find a use case for it.
Photographs? As opposed to Apple Photos?
Just discovered that my website doesn’t build (@jekyllrb) when Twitter is down. I’m guessing it’s due to Twitter embeds.
@JoeBuhlig I have not yet written about my personal knowledge management setup, but I approach my Roam as though it’s a garden:
Everything I find interesting goes into Roam in some shape or form and then I search inside if I’m looking for something I know I read at some point.
@joshuaginter “Everything I find interesting”
What is this? Book notes? Ideas? Gifts? I keep a lot of that sort of thing in a notebook.
I ask because I have a hard time translating it.
Awesome to see Roam rank so high.
I use Roam all day, every day, for personal knowledge management and for CRM purposes at the office.
I've said this a thousand times.
Is it clear I love Roam? https://twitter.com/thesweetsetup/status/1316757561404727296
@joshuaginter Do you have all your use cases documented somewhere? I explored it yesterday and couldn’t figure out what I would use it for.
I feel like I have a ton of questions and we're still a couple days out! https://twitter.com/analogrevenge/status/1316814254125842436
@JoeBuhlig My impressions of Roam, without actually diving in, is that it’s an ugly, primitive version of Notion. Can’t see any reason at all to switch or consider it. What am I missing?
@hljboss I’m with you. Not sure how many times I mentioned on stream that it feels like beta software. Definitely not something I would pay for.
