From my personal perspective, I think Roam brought to attention a different type of software and vibe which were dominated SV type startups. Through Roam, I’ve learned about all those fancy-old ideas and concepts. I guess I was coming from a more mainstream corner of the tech scene.
My excitement declined as the hype too, and as you describe, I couldn’t understand its real benefits as I didn’t have a strong enough reason to use it.
Coming to Roam a few years later, after starting a publication, has made the difference as I’m less focused on [[double-bracketing]] but just taking notes, gradually and only when I’m feeling like it.
