tldr: roam's defining feature, bi-directional links, sound great in theory but break down in practice. if you rely on them as your primary means of finding notes, it quickly breaks down because there's no canonical starting point (by design)

Thought this was a great write-up of the missing link with roam and tools like it. They make it incredibly easy to add notes but after a while, make it incredibly difficult to find those notes again when needed
