Love the topic. Spaced repetition was a revelation for me. Wondered how Anki might be used to memorize something visual, say the segment architecture. Also do tools for memory go down in value as fast access to our "memory" through tools like Roam go up? LT recall aside, love how they are forcing functions for deeper inquiry and synthesis

I started using Roam about three months ago, and their user community (reddit, Medium & youtube) coupled with the release notes has been a big help to navigating a steep learning curve. Curious to hear more about how you're using it and what you think of it, seems like it's a tool that gets more and more powerful the deeper you go.

I just started poking around on a note taking and personal knowledge management tool as well and was going to try out Roam Research but decided to start with Obsidian.md first since it keep s everything in markup form locally which I can then back up however I'd like. I'll let you know how that experiment goes!
