Also -- for folks asking about how we're different from Workflowy or Evernote or existing wiki tools

Key claim we have is that knowledge doesn't really fit into the tree structure of a file system (nearly 100% of knowledge management tools follow that structure)

In Roam, you can organize things hierarchically -- using indentation -- but when you link to another page, the paragraph or bullet point where you made that link appears in the "references" for that page.

Pages -- like a page for a person, or a concept -- end up getting a sort of implicit definition from all the other places where you talk about them.

So, a page for Alice or Bob for example has all the tasks that have been assigned to them, and all notes from meetings that involved them.

A page for a concept like [[Paul Graham recommends Clojure]] pulls in all the paragraphs or bullet points where you used the term -- and the bullet points nested below.
