I’ve been using Roam V2 for about a month now. After actually spending some time with the new system I really love it. It is much faster than the previous version when it comes to loading/indexing the notes at startup (it’s pretty-much instantaneous).
The majority of ‘mainstream’ technology is awful. I lived for thirty years without ever really understanding what is possible with computers. The one exception to this was maybe my experience with music production software. I used Logic for a long time on a friends Mac (I’ve never owned a Mac), when we were recording stuff in his garage. I’ve also used Ableton a lot. Anyway, both those pieces of software amaze me. I’m sure there are ways to criticise them, but I really found them so empowering.
