+ [[https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam][org-roam]] :: The de facto standard
in the Emacs milieu---and rightly
so! It has a massive community, is featureful, and should be an
excellent companion to anyone who is invested in the Org ecosystem
- and/or knows what "Roam" is (I don't). My understanding is that Org
- Roam relies on a database to provide some of its features. This
- probably means that it performs certain tasks with greater efficiency,
- though a database is inherently not as accessible as plain text and
- regular directories/folders---you depend on some specialised program.
- If you ask me, I have no idea how to use a database, let alone debug
- it or retrieve data from it if something goes awry (I could learn, but
- that is beside the point).
+ and/or knows what "Roam" is (I don't). It has been explained to me
+ that Org Roam uses a database to store a cache about your notes. It
+ otherwise uses standard Org files. The cache helps refer to the same
+ node through aliases which can provide lots of options. Personally, I
+ follow a single-topic-per-note approach, so anything beyond that is
+ overkill. If the database is only for a cache, then maybe that has no
+ downside, though I am careful with any kind of specialised program as
+ it creates a dependency. If you ask me about database software in
+ particular, I have no idea how to use one, let alone debug it or
+ retrieve data from it if something goes awry (I could learn, but that
+ is beside the point).
