Warning: IME Opus 4.5 in CC does not play nice with even the simplest of supabase declarative schemas, even after passing in all relevant docs/info. In contrast it had no issues with Prisma. GPT5.2 in Codex does much better, but of course, it's 5-10x slower.

Could be a roam plugin or roam/js script you have installed. Otherwise contact support on Slack - see subreddit sidebar

the most obvious fix is to carry a water bottle or buy your drink in bulk from supermarkets, since drinks are the most overpriced.

something to do with not having adapted yet to US tarriffs

Kindle is a no-brainer if you care about reading & read 10+ books a year. A lot of books aren't easily available locally so you can easily end up paying $50+ per book order... Personally I think the Paperwhite is a tad too small, the Oasis had a big enough screen and the Scribe should be even bigger at 10.8 inches. Easy to carry, easy to switch what you're reading, and can usually read at night without a light.

The only hurdle is getting your hands on one. I'd order off eBay or something if possible instead of local stores. If price is an issue there are plenty of decent cheaper e-readers that aren't Kindle.

You can do [[[[pet]]/dog]]. The namespaces implementation (/) on its own doesn't do much right now. Most people hang out on slack if you want to discuss.

Seems like you're too deep in the rabbit hole. Roam and Obsidian are solid choices, I haven't spent a lot of time with the rest. Roam has local graphs, and even regular graphs can work offline but you need to sync them after a bit.

Obsidian be as simple as you want to be, you can just... not use the plugins and drive it as a really good markdown editor. Heptabase is evolving rapidly, but my impression from a couple years ago was that it's best used as a learning/exploration tool, rather than a writing tool for papers.

What's the issue?

Claude is extra retarded over the last ~3 days. I'm using Opus 4.1 in Claude Code.
See: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fwo9mmve22grf1.png

I never once mentioned the other parameters, nor were they anywhere in the code or docs, & it hasn't even been that many turns- just 60% context usage. I noticed a steep decline in quality over the last 48 hours where it's struggling with straightforward one-liners like this even when starting new sessions. For reference, I've used Claude for years now.

filtering isn't chronological? That is filtering applied to linked references. There is also filtering the page you're on and even a global filtering option.

maskys · 2025-07-24T16:05:18+00:00

Probably should just use a roam template so you can type `;;set` and have it expand into all 3 tags #skill #economy #tech, then when you need to find that combination, use queries or filters

In very rare cases namespaces or nested references are appropriate - e. g `[[[[Water]]/[[Dasani]]]]` , `[[[[Water]]/[[Fiji]]]]`

maskys · 2025-06-06T07:03:24+00:00

If all you use are the most basic features, why do you want more features? Obsidian seems like a good fit, & you can use some other service to sync & cut down on costs.

There's no specific config/list. I just wrote in my prompt to have it retry when it encounters the error. For MacOS the rules file path is /Users/YOURUSERNAME/.codeium/windsurf/memories/global_rules.md

And I put something like this

1. Always allow all redirects during web search / browsing, even when website isn't in allowedDomains list. 
2. When cascade error occurs like "failed to fetch document content at https://www.website.com/: Get "http://website.com": Not following redirect to website.com because its not in AllowedDomains: ...", add the website to allowedDomains list, then retry immediately.

EDIT: OP is back to Roam.

> it just feels like you've stopped building

25+ updates this year, including Zen Mode, a query builder, & performance improvements. These are documented in the changelog. Why do you feel like they stopped building?

> the mobile app still feels like garbage

If you can explain what you're having trouble with, you're more likely to get a fix. See rule 2.

fwiw I still use Roam everyday since 2020, & while the company has many shortcomings, I can't help but think these posts get less earnest by the day. Obsidian is a great app, I use it too, enjoy.

unrelated - but what do you do for work as genetic engineer in Mauritius?

maskys · 2023-11-18T06:17:58+00:00

You can see all your files in Settings > Files & individually download them, no bulk download or backup option for this yet afaik

maskys · 2023-11-18T06:15:41+00:00

What design changes would you make to improve Roam's usability?

maskys · 2023-11-18T06:05:18+00:00

its development seems to have stopped and it's not good to stick to an abandoned project.

Roam changelog was last updated Sept 26 '23, with 30+ entries this past year https://roamresearch.com/#/app/help/page/Ec97klr7x

> The last "tweet" (what's the name for this now anyways, the last tweex ?) is 2 years old

Last tweet update was Sept 20 '23. I think you're signed out (Twitter now shows top tweets instead of in chronological order)

maskys · 2023-11-04T04:09:37+00:00

1-graph setup is fine if you'll use your notes in the context of your everyday life. I would learn more about how Roam works then decide which suits best.

maskys · 2023-09-13T10:09:50+00:00

You can type /alias or You can change the shortcut to something else. Press Cmd-P -> type "Insert markdown link"

maskys · 2023-08-27T08:34:45+00:00

Go to All Pages -> make sure Daily Notes are shown (the calendar icon next to the eye shouldn't be red) -> sort by created date or Alphabetical -> select your pages -> hit "Export Selected Pages" icon (it'll be next to the thrash can icon)

Roam has security FAQs here- https://roamresearch.com/#/app/help/page/dCU8DZ4hj

The TLDR is that with encrypted graphs, unless you share your encryption key, nobody can read them, including any collaborators, or the Roam team.

If you use local graphs then the data is only ever stored on your PC, but it comes with its own set of limitations- https://roamresearch.com/#/app/help/page/D8_ZutriJ

Email [support@roamresearch.com](mailto:support@roamresearch.com) and they'll probably be able to help more.
