Episode notes
Roam's Graph Database
- Roam Research leverages a graph database, enabling flexible idea organization.
- Users connect ideas across topics without file/folder constraints, mimicking the brain's natural thought processes.
Limitations of Traditional Note-Taking
- Human brains organize thoughts both hierarchically and associatively.
- Traditional note-taking tools limit this by forcing ideas into single pages or files, hindering associative connections.
Inspiration and Collaborative Research
- Conor White-Sullivan was inspired by Mortimer Adler's "How to Read a Book."
- He ran collaborative research groups and found limitations in tools like Evernote for organizing notes by book.
