I recently used linked thinking in Obsidian to do some critical meme analysis for therapy. It was a good exercise in creating index notes, e.g. a meme crossing over Marvel and The Good Place wouldn't fit in a folder for either one.

Been using Roam on and off for a while. A friend of mine calls it her exocortex and I’ve been feeling similarly. As someone with ADHD it’s so nice to be able to offload a bunch of mental overhead to a place where I can just review it later without having to struggle to recall what I wanted to remember!

Even though I prefer Obsidian now, Roam was like being able to run after only having crawled with Google Docs. It changed how I approach thinking.

Can you describe what you like about Obsidian vs Roam? You’re not the first person I’ve heard say they switched.

Hey, I wanted to take some time to re-find it but this video was what pushed me to make the switch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x54XJrECvk
