        • Relates to these ideas
  • Every node that you create in the diagram will be made into a bullet nested below that diagram
    • hint -- it works way better in fullscreen
    • You can still do all the same things in these nodes that you can anywhere else in Roam
      • So you can try out the experimental features like the Tables view
      • or use markdown
