Roam is the most exciting piece of software I've yet tried, and it's still at the prototype stage. Trust me, you want a demo. [Roam Research](https://roamresearch.com) What is it? The short answer is "Workflowy meets Google Docs." But really it's a replacement for the essay. You can make infinitely nested concepts, in a similar bullet-point format to WorkFlowy. But you can also reference all mentions to a concept. And use inline LaTeX. And a couple other things that make it possible to use this for argument mapping. So when you take notes on something you're reading, you're actually building the logical structure of the text's argument into the notation. Because it's mostly keyboard shortcuts, not drag-and-drop, it has the potential to be as fast as writing text in a word processor. But *much more structured.* At a minimum it allows me to synthesize all my self-tracking techniques (which currently live in WorkFlowy and Google Sheets) into one tool. But it has the potential to be *way* more. It can be as profound a mental prosthetic as hypertext. Check it out.
