I recently used linked thinking in Obsidian to do some critical meme analysis for therapy. It was a good exercise in creating index notes, e.g. a meme crossing over Marvel and The Good Place wouldn't fit in a folder for either one.

Even though I prefer Obsidian now, Roam was like being able to run after only having crawled with Google Docs. It changed how I approach thinking.

Can you describe what you like about Obsidian vs Roam? You’re not the first person I’ve heard say they switched.
