@@MarcKoenig haha I check your channel and tubebody extension told me that you didn't have a pinned comment. So it wasn't all me. Will start my dentistry channel this coming week so I'm looking at yours for growth inspiration. All the best and good luck.
This video singlehandedly makes me want to actually explore Roam properly. Like literally this video would have made the difference between it becoming an integral part of my workflow vs something I abandoned because I thought it was too simple. Thanks Marc!!! This vid is 🔥
I love these comments. Someone told me they're watching it by going through 3-4 tips at a time and pausing and analyzing backgrounds frame-by-frame, over the course of multiple sessions. thanks friend!
fucking hell this whole thing changed my life after 27 years! feels like i can finally enable my entire brain. I took notes in apples app before so this is the biggest gamechanger of my life. I am at least 50% happier since i found this! Thank you so much marc
This a great rapid-fire introduction. I expect to use it to support the creative delivery of my Perfect Pitch |How to Resonate with Investors learning program.
I love this format of information delivery!!! (Helpful that I remember the J, K, and L keys in TH-cam, and of course - spacebar for pause!) - This is great.
I really enjoyed this but I'll admit I started to get lost halfway through. Would love to see some shorter "Here's how I use Roam to do X" type videos, I think part of why I got lost is because I'm still not clear on what Roam does and why I'd even need something like a query.
Thank you for your candid feedback! Love this I don't think this video is the best standalone resource for pure beginners or those who aren't already interested in Roam - it's more of a grab bag useful to all stages that you can reference over time once you've got some level of buy-in. What how to use Roam videos would you want to start with? p.s. send me a DM on Twitter if you want to go more in-depth, I'd love to hear more specific questions, where you got snagged, etc. I'm doing beginner walkthroughs lately and the snag points are really illuminating. @MarcKoenig_ twitter.com/marckoenig_/
USING ROAM ON IPAD Would love if you would show your limitations for using Roam in other iOS devices. I have a iPad Pro and very rarely I use my iPhone. I didn’t discover that when using these devices, my controls are limited.
The moving graphics are great!... Your sense of instructional design is terrific!! Please ALWAYS display your keyboard strokes (overlays?) at the bottom of the video as you did several times in this video.
Thanks geek mee! Back when I made this video I didn't know how to do automated keystroke display. Doing more of this in my tutorials going forward (see the Wife in Roam video for an example) :-) Appreciate the kind words and suggestion!
I capture screenshots on my iPhone all the time! However, they need to work on this for iOS…It works as designed on my Mac. On iOS after trying the command /Upload… Nothing happens on both devices for iOS?
Congrats, you did it! Now: don't try to solve apply all in one go! also, for a paced-out version where we work on all this together, join 30DaysofRoam: marckoenig.com :)
This was SO so good. I think this actually the perfect video to explain to someone what Roam is and does without them having to endure one of those mundane "intro" videos.
As someone who has never used Roam before, this was awesome. The editing is so on point, along with the way you spoke through all the tips. Made it so fun to watch!
booya Maneetpaul! Glad it's useful coming in 100% fresh! One of my biggest concerns re: Roam is info overload and onboarding feeling like a slog instead of fun. :) cheers

@@MarcKoenig kind of you to ask! I’ll try to use it for everything. (But Omnifocus and Omniplan for tasks/project management) It is extremely powerful with the block references, etc. I’m using it for content creation, music, marketing, website building and so on. In a complex world it is easy to get lost. Roam seems to be a good savior

I have previously used a thing called Axon Idea Processor, and have been a Confluence fan -. but Roam has much less baggage clearly. Magic.
glad you got an actionable tip! I use that one constantly bonus tip: you can tag screenshots by the kind of image it is to find quickly later. I tag all whiteboard brainstorming photos I archive and add to my database so I can find it later if I query [[topic]] + [[whiteboard-pics]]
