Just discovered the mode of ( org-roam-ui of )!
:blobcataww:

I know that probably has been there for a while, but have never activated it! :ablobattention:

Do you also use ?
This is a core node with an index, not sure if I should use it or link nodes differently.. but comes handy and can always disable it with filters :abloblamp:

@frayoshi

Love #orgroam, been increasingly incorporating it in my workflows.

@frayoshi Beware, next step once you found about org-roam-ui is showing off to all your friends and colleagues; and if it *is* amazing, non-emacs / non-notes people have surprisingly no amazement at all for such display ._.

Do you suffer from the urge to connect all your notes so that the graph is inter-connected too ? haha

I actually find it useful for the way my mind works.. have a gazillion notes that I rarely remember I took @ervan .. with roam-ui, I instead get a quick refresh every time a linked note is consulted :)
still have those gazillion notes to port, no idea if one day I will do it :abloblamp:
the perk is that I can share my interconnections with people that couldn't care less :ablobbass:

@frayoshi I often read about orgRoam but never tried it though. Cool to see this 3D graph! I'm using Obsidian for about 3 years and there's a plugin for this as well :blobcatadorable: Many people say they find graphs useless but I like to see a visualization of my work and it's nice to find bigger nodes that need a rework or still have to be created. What about you, do you like to use (2D) graphs?

I actually find the 2D more useful, as it also shows titles and not just spheres @ChristianKrebel , but it is interesting to visualize :)

As an example, this is the same view, but in !

I considered Obsidian, but ultimately went with roam as I wanted something multi-platform, libre and potentially future proof : )
But a big factor was that I already was using emacs, so it was just about installing a package and learning it ^^

On mobile is less user friendly, but I can always refine notes on the pc, and probably better ^^

Now there's a very usable emacs for android, and in combination with the moonlander, it is not too far from the desktop experience :)

@frayoshi nice example 🙏🏻 that reminds me of the movies I track by fetching IMDB data. Through the graph I can easily spot the genres I prefer 😄

I can understand that Obsidian is not for everyone. Normal markdown files and closed source 😅 sometimes I want to switch to #logseq, maybe you know it as well.
The mobile experience is important to me so I'm a bit disappointed that most tools for thought lack in that category :blobcatmeltcry:

@frayoshi Cool, 3D works? Could you record a short screencap to show how navigation could feel?

Sorry for the delay @ctietze !
Have recorded a short sample, but apart from being cool, I do not find it very ready just yet.. it is very slow and lacks some of the 2D functionalities... there's an option to add text on every node, but crashes on my computer, and it is quite modern... also, the labels inside the node, make it unreadable...

@frayoshi Ha, yeah, it looks like a cool backdrop for a video, rotating bubbles and stuff. But I can't fathom how one would navigate this (esp since the layout is chiefly generated ad hoc and you cannot "form" tunnels, clusters, highways in 3D space)

Thank you for recording this!

woohoo!! You are much more advanced than me @nickanderson !
Love it!!! :ablobcatheart:

Do you also use it for journaling?

@frayoshi I dunno about advanced, but its definitely full of content, I work in it all day, so things add up quickly.

And yes, I do use it for journaling. Often it feels like there is little that I don't use org-mode for.
