And what of Roam Research?

One of the note-taking apps that I have been hearing quite a lot about is Roam Research. I don't have much to say about it at the moment, however, I have started to take a course on it so I could really dive deep and have a better understanding of it. Specifically, I'm taking the Effortless Output course as a part of Forte labs, partially as an attempt to see what these courses are like, because I'd like to put one together myself. But I also genuinely want to know what the hubbub is all about. (links are non-affiliate)

I'm only a little ways into the course. While I'm not planning on jumping ship from DEVONthink as my note-taking tool of choice, I can definitely see its appeal. I hope to have a more robust write up of similarities and differences when I'm done with the course, in about a month or so.

In the meantime, if you have any thoughts about note-taking apps you like most and why, please feel free to add them to the comments.
