# Org-roam: Presentation, Demonstration, and What's on the Horizon

Org-roam is a Roam replica built on top of the all-powerful Org-mode.
Org-roam is a solution for effortless non-hierarchical note-taking with
Org-mode. With Org-roam, notes flow naturally, making note-taking fun
and easy. Org-roam should also work as a plug-and-play solution for
anyone already using Org-mode for their personal wiki.
Org-roam aims to implement the core features of Roam, leveraging the
mature ecosystem around Org-mode where possible. Eventually, we hope to
further introduce features enabled by the Emacs ecosystem.
The purpose of the talk is to introduce people to Org-roam, whether
they be Org-mode connoisseurs or newcomers. A lot of people have
found value in adopting Org-roam and the Zettelkasten method in their
workflows, and the goal is to demonstrate how they achieved it. The
last part will present the future milestones that are in store for
Org-roam.
Examples of short-presentations I've recorded in the past:
- [Org-Roam v1.2.0: Headlines & Unlinked References - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyEMlIxIHXs)
- [Org-roam-bibtex - Quick Presentation - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy9WvF5gWYg)
- [Org-roam-dailies: Demonstration - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q9x2aZCJJ4)

# Questions from the pad
## What is the functionality of `org-roam-unlinked-references`?
Let's say we have Emacs in another note… for every mention of Emacs that is not linked, it prints all the results in the buffer.
## How would org-roam files which would be very numerous integrate with todo's and org-agenda
## Is it possible to use the backlinks feature in regular org buffers?
We have a very controlled environment and this is where we keep all the notes
## Do you make your org-roam database accessible accross computers? Via putting the SQLite file in Dropbox or serving the DB in the cloud or something.
- Answer: no. Only on one computer personally.
- But plenty of people have done so. Section in the manual dedicated to this.
- pretty sure best results occur when the DB is generated seperately for each machine.
## How do you discover tags/links to add to a new org-roam note?
… go to org-roam.com, on Github we show everything
## Do you share your org-roam knowledgebase in a public location?
## Is it possible/easy to have a knowledgebase which is a mix of public/private data?
## Is it possible to seamlessly link to other notes with syntax instead of a keybinding? How do you avoid ending up with duplicate links like `tag1`, `tag_1` and `tag-1`? Since notes are created at different times it's difficult to be consistent.
## What is the best way to keep a separate org-roam (dir) for work and home/personal?
## Are the timestamp prefixes in the filenames optional?
yes, you can modify the prefixe
## Just want to say good on you Leo! Perserverence!
## Is there an easy way to export several selected notes, to say, a LaTeX file?
At the very core it is Org Mode
<https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/interoperability-between-org-roam-and-regular-org/715/8> has some notes about exporting from Org Roam to regular Org
Yes, sorry, I meant to put together several "atoms" for export.
## try org-transclusion to make new notes and export to latex file.
## How do tags fit into org-roam workflow?
## You mentioned you have a youtube channel. Could you give us the link to it. I would definitely be interested in watching your videos. Yeah, I didnt see it. Thanks :D

# Notes
- Maintainer of <https://www.orgroam.com/>
- "Org Roam is a way for you to manage backlinks inside of Emacs" links - backlinks
- I see logseq ( <https://logseq.com> ) as a bridge to link non-emacs users to Emacs world.
- Org-roam is awesome. As a friendly challenge, Karl wrote <https://karl-voit.at/2020/06/14/Zettelkasten-concerns/>
- You should check out the cool discussions on <https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/hg2m5s/zettelkastenorgroamorgbrain_is_crap/> which mentiones tons of advantages of org-roam/Zettelkasten
- If you checked out Zettelkasten and you're looking for a simpler alternative for just bi-directional linking headings (but none of the other great features of Zettelkasten): <https://karl-voit.at/2020/07/22/org-super-links/>
