The things that are most valuable to me in roam (other than the obvious) are:
the daily notes page
phone2roam
each block is its own unit
I assume since Obsidian has such a great plugin community, that the phone2roam functionality exists there.
But last time I checked, there was nothing like the daily notes page in Obsidian and it also wanted to treat each page as a unit rather than each block. Have those shortcomings been overcome yet?
Blocks can be linked and embedded; if you’re not using a plugin, you need to begin typing a link like [[some page#^ and then you’ll get a selection of blocks within that page. It’s much easier with community plugins like “Copy Block Link” or “Carry Forward”, though. Blocks can be linked or embedded/transcluded, as can page sections designated by heading text (e.g. [[My Page#Some Section]]) and autocomplete works for those as well as link hovering. (You can ctrl-or-cmd hover a link even in edit mode to see a popup of where it goes, and if the link is to a section or block the popup will just be that section or block.)
There is a plugin called Daily notes and another called Periodic Notes (which also does weekly and monthly notes). Also yes you can now transclude individual blocks/headers as well as whole pages.
