Roam Research

A note-taking tool for networked thought

[Roam Research @RoamResearch]

Most important thing to know when starting your journey.

[Conor @Conaw]

@ActivateLearn @rosiesherry @RoamResearch You don't need to learn anything besides writing a few words you think are important in [[these brackets]], and hitting tab.

The rest is just folks getting excited and building on that foundation.

Very easy gateway, and many very capable people never feel need to go beyond.

Just ask Cursor to set it up?

For Cursor tho, our local MCP is an even better fit, since it's faster, and it also has more tools at it's disposal

Here's a 30 second setup for the local MCP: https://t.co/aZYu7SgMuq

Roamans have been running a bene gesserit op on their own future selves

Roam MCP is out! Claude and ChatGPT can now directly read and write in your graph – the long game pays off

We'll be out with more use cases over the next few days, but wanted to highlight my favorite, which is ...

Walk-and-Roam: going on a walk and just talking through anything with ChatGPT, asking it to read from (& maybe update) Roam

Things like:

🧵

[Roam Research @RoamResearch]

Roam's promise was that your notes reveal patterns in your thinking. but doing the synthesis AND making it actionable took meta-awareness and willpower

Just ask your graph to call you out, like you would a friend who's read everything you ever wrote🥹

[Roam Research @RoamResearch]

Setup: find Roam under: Connectors in Claude and Plugins in ChatGPT and connect your graph

✨ [[Quality of Life Improvement]]:

/table is now interactive 👾

Click into any cell to edit, copy and paste across rows, and move blocks around without leaving the table!

[Roam Research @RoamResearch]

✨ [[Quality of Life Improvement]]

Autocomplete in Roam now shows live previews of pages and blocks, emphasizes matching terms, and shows reference counts so you can gauge relevance before you even link 🔗

Ctrl-O to toggle the preview on/off

Roam early 2026 updates, the big one is [[Callouts]]

Start any block with > [!type] and it turns into a styled callout: warning, info, danger, success, tip, bug, quote all built in. Or define your own types with CSS!

Import redesign, QOL fixes below 🧵

[Roam Research @RoamResearch]

Some bug fixes 🐞🐛

- code blocks auto-save as you type now (no more clicking outside to save)
- blockquote/callout paste from HTML and Markdown actually produces single blocks
- markdown links with parentheses in URLs work
- pasting from GitHub fixed
- code block language picker stays open when you need it to
- page rename/merge fixes, renaming a page no longer breaks tags, LaTeX, {}, or emoji titles

[Roam Research @RoamResearch]
