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.

There are lots of different ways to compare, but with Obsidian I like
I do miss Roam’s outliner and backlinks sometimes, but not enough to have bothered with a plugin yet. I also wasn’t sure about Roam’s future, and remained a paid subscriber to support them until I saw how the CEO had decided to moderate the subreddit.
I hadn’t been following the CEO’s behavior. The rest sounds excellent, I’d kill for a decent mobile app. My single greatest frustration with roam is the glacial loading speed on mobile since I’m usually using it to hastily type a note while out doing other things. Thank you for the rundown, I’ll definitely be looking into switching over.
I honestly don’t use the mobile app much, but when I tried to use Roam’s app in a doctor visit, it was embarrassing to wait 30 seconds for it to load. It was doubly embarrassing when I compulsively closed the app and had to open it again 🙃
I hope you post about your experience experimenting with Obsidian :)
