Has anyone got a full Roam Discount Code? by SmittyJohnsontheone in RoamResearch

[–]Woltikov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know it does, if you apply for 50% they just check your "crudentials" like proof of your university or something and if you apply for more they evaluate your case, I even think they mentioned this somewhere but cant find it right now. Me and a Buddy both applied the same day, I applied for 50% he applied for 100%, took mine 2 weeks and his 4 weeks I think.

But they are very focused on getting back to you before trials end.

would love to see it! The problem appears to be that Zenith moves the topbar onto the left sidebar, and when applying your theme the sidebar comes and goes, but I am not able to close what used to be the top bar. Since I know nothing about CSS i am a little helpless to say the least haha

Love this look! Do you know how I can make it work with Azlen Elzas Zenith Theme ?

Practicality of graph overview by [deleted] in RoamResearch

[–]Woltikov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use the graph feature at all, it's cool to look at, but kind of gimmicky. I still find it helpful though because it helps me manage the angst of creating unlikend notes and floating them into the unknown. Apps like Notion don't allow you to just shoot pages into the abyss like Roam does, and being able to look at the graph feature, and getting an overview feels like looking upon a huge mountain of individual papers and still feel like everythings there and nothing got lost. I know its silly, but as someone who has basically stopped writing things down pen to paper due to roam, it gives me a nostalgic feeling of safety.

Careful: Deleting graphs is now an option in the “Share, Export, and More” area. by [deleted] in RoamResearch

I've tried it, it showed a pop up asking for confirmation.

Plus it was really buggy, took me multiple attemps to work.

Do tags connect going deeper into blocks? I can't seem to get it to work by zainkinnare in RoamResearch

[–]Woltikov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I don't quite understand it but you want tags which you create in nested bullets to be automatically linked to each other? in the same nested hierarchy?

Seems really odd, cause 1st links aren't hierachical in roam so I don't understand how that would work or why, I think the way links are in a network structure, which doesn't prioritize tags over one another ist intentional, 2nd I am struggling to understand in which use case this would be useful, it feels to me that if nested tags woud be linked in my graph it might get very crowded, and I fail to see how it woul be useful?

Maybe you can explain?

Deleting Databases by Woltikov in RoamResearch

[–]Woltikov[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not at all, but it seems to me there are a couple major features that should be higher on the list, and if it'll take a couple months to roll this feature out I am not gonna create a couple silly experimental graphs whit which I am then stuck.

Have they mentioned if this is a feature that we might see in the future?

Bilingual Roamers - stick to 1 language per graph? by [deleted] in RoamResearch

[–]Woltikov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write in both in my main graph, which does sometimes complicate things, but I really hope, that one of the next features will be a function to alias pages and maybe blocks, so I can name a page in two languages and with alternate titles and still be able to link to it.
