[@MarcKoenig]

@@nemowastakentoo thanks to you I learned this is a thing I can do

[@nemowastakentoo]

@@MarcKoenig haha I check your channel and tubebody extension told me that you didn't have a pinned comment. So it wasn't all me. Will start my dentistry channel this coming week so I'm looking at yours for growth inspiration. All the best and good luck.

[@siowyn]

Amazing! It's called a rapid stream of consciousness! Thanks!

[@gileswhiting2891]

Ali typing so 'productively' that he doesn't even bother completing his sentences :D

[@Heuristic1905]

This tutorial is the KING of all tutorials. I have it bookmarked and watch it every few months for a refresher. Thanks @Marc.

[@supperham]

yes, this is so dense, I can not even; big thank you, I keep coming back to it, too

[@dabi_]

This video singlehandedly makes me want to actually explore Roam properly. Like literally this video would have made the difference between it becoming an integral part of my workflow vs something I abandoned because I thought it was too simple. Thanks Marc!!! This vid is 🔥

[@MarcKoenig]

WOW thanks David. I'm going to put this in my inspiration quotes in Roam for when I need to inspiration to make a video 🥰

[@존쌤의언어습득법]

can't believe how often I come back to this video. Amazing!

[@MarcKoenig]

I love these comments. Someone told me they're watching it by going through 3-4 tips at a time and pausing and analyzing backgrounds frame-by-frame, over the course of multiple sessions. thanks friend!

[@geekmeee]

@@MarcKoenig ...What you said!

[@issesabernicht]

This is one super rare video a simple like is not enough expression how thankful I am you sharing this knowledge!

[@richaprasad6737]

Wow! I learned more watching this than entire playlists.

[@MarcKoenig]

hehehe thank you!

[@OkayestChemist]

03:53 I love that you used the PT hallway as your dark and foreboding picture

[@MarcKoenig]

You might be the first person to notice this, kudos ;-)

[@nagelfamily]

Used OneNote,Notion,Notability, Evernote, Apple Notes Obsidian - I think this was the best Roam video by far!

[@colbyhowardwantsyourjob]

Just as I was about to switch to one of the newer apps... I find out there's 14 minutes of things I haven't been doing right on Roam. This is great, thank you

[@cnburbridge]

I love this format of information delivery!!! (Helpful that I remember the J, K, and L keys in KZbin, and of course - spacebar for pause!) - This is great.

[@keithaltomare]

been back here many times. godlike!

[@icelandwedding]

Thanks. I've been using Roam for a couple of years but learned several new things here

[@RyanLeach]

I really enjoyed this but I'll admit I started to get lost halfway through. Would love to see some shorter "Here's how I use Roam to do X" type videos, I think part of why I got lost is because I'm still not clear on what Roam does and why I'd even need something like a query.

[@MarcKoenig]

Thank you for your candid feedback! Love this I don't think this video is the best standalone resource for pure beginners or those who aren't already interested in Roam - it's more of a grab bag useful to all stages that you can reference over time once you've got some level of buy-in. What how to use Roam videos would you want to start with? p.s. send me a DM on Twitter if you want to go more in-depth, I'd love to hear more specific questions, where you got snagged, etc. I'm doing beginner walkthroughs lately and the snag points are really illuminating. @MarcKoenig_ twitter.com/marckoenig_/

[@nicholascernera5121]

This is a ridiculously well made video, thanks for all the time and effort spent on this, Marc. Easiest subscribe of my life.

[@nido007]

You have just sold me Roam :). Amazing for productivity , endless possibilities . very well explained . doing great Marc. from your fan!

[@MarcKoenig]

Thanks Naveed! Appreciate the love 👊

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thank you for taking the time to make such an awesome video about Roam

[@MarcKoenig]

Glad you enjoyed it! :) Are you using or planning to use it for content creation on your channel? Or music-related tasks? Would be interested to hear

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

@@MarcKoenig kind of you to ask! I’ll try to use it for everything. (But Omnifocus and Omniplan for tasks/project management) It is extremely powerful with the block references, etc. I’m using it for content creation, music, marketing, website building and so on. In a complex world it is easy to get lost. Roam seems to be a good savior

[@mosyed1746]

I keep coming back to this video

[@ellisvandenboogaard5903]

Best. HowTo/TipList. Ever.💫 In awe! You put soooooo much time & effort into making my life a lot easier! I bu(r)sted into a loud, crazy-happy-bullet-point-inspired "GRATITUDE for the Roam Geek Guy" dance! My husband came downstairs to figure out why I was cheerfully popcorning around the kitchen island while yelling out loud, hahaha. When I explained your awesomeness he replied: "Good. So, you can teach me Roam on the weekend." 🙃 Well, not quite (read: "not even close" obviously), but I'm gonna start with my own DN first thing tomorrow. So, expect me back here daily for a while, ahem, haha. And I'll surely watch your other videos too. Thanks again for helping newbies step into the world of Roam on the right foot, which is so-so-SO much better and less "intimidating" than having to start from scratch while staring at a blank (+ one dot) RR canvas!. Cheers, Ellis

[@traianivanescu24]

Thank you for this thorough video. I found it a bit hard to keep up with it as the pace was fast, but your voice, tone, and speech pace were calm, and they helped me stay until the end.

[@billmueller2313]

This was PHENOMENAL! Thanks for creating.

[@MarcKoenig]

🥳 cheers

[@TLavonLawrence]

You deserve a check just for putting this video up. DUDE, have you saved me a boatload of time and handed over to us all REAL value! Major thanks!

[@geekmeee]

The moving graphics are great!... Your sense of instructional design is terrific!! Please ALWAYS display your keyboard strokes (overlays?) at the bottom of the video as you did several times in this video.

[@MarcKoenig]

Thanks geek mee! Back when I made this video I didn't know how to do automated keystroke display. Doing more of this in my tutorials going forward (see the Wife in Roam video for an example) :-) Appreciate the kind words and suggestion!

[@brandonbenson5655]

This was SO so good. I think this actually the perfect video to explain to someone what Roam is and does without them having to endure one of those mundane "intro" videos.

[@techademic]

Quite simply the best tutorial video I have ever seen. Ever. Thank you.

[@PJAOK]

I'm a graph database person. It's how I think. Also wikis. I love the way Roam works from your description.. it is intuitive to me. Thank you for this extremely condensed tour through it. I have previously used a thing called Axon Idea Processor, and have been a Confluence fan -. but Roam has much less baggage clearly. Magic.

[@Maneetpaul]

As someone who has never used Roam before, this was awesome. The editing is so on point, along with the way you spoke through all the tips. Made it so fun to watch!

[@MarcKoenig]

booya Maneetpaul! Glad it's useful coming in 100% fresh! One of my biggest concerns re: Roam is info overload and onboarding feeling like a slog instead of fun. :) cheers

[@DavidMosby-r8p]

This a great rapid-fire introduction. I expect to use it to support the creative delivery of my Perfect Pitch |How to Resonate with Investors learning program.

[@rsandovuaem]

It was Awesome... super fast. I started with Roam last November, but I learnt a lot with this video. Thanks a lot.Marc

[@MarcKoenig]

Glad it was helpful even for a grizzled veteran like yourself!

[@mantaq10]

The goto tutorial for all roam newbies and rusties alike! cool video Marc!

[@MarcKoenig]

Thanks Atif! 🙏

[@afelandr]

This was good. I watched 1.5X speed. good for starting and now I know where to look what, when I need them. Thank you, Marc!

If you could still watch it at 1.5x I’ve failed. Need to speed up my delivery...

[@kdiaz8054]

This was absolutely increadible. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Truly helpful.

thanks friend! 🔥 glad it helped

[@lucamaxmeyer]

fucking hell this whole thing changed my life after 27 years! feels like i can finally enable my entire brain. I took notes in apples app before so this is the biggest gamechanger of my life. I am at least 50% happier since i found this! Thank you so much marc

[@planttheseed2129]

This is next-level stuff, Marc. I would pay money if you made this into a Teachable course with chapters.

[@MarcKoenig]

Saving this to my Encouragement page in Roam. Thank you friend!

USING ROAM ON IPAD Would love if you would show your limitations for using Roam in other iOS devices. I have a iPad Pro and very rarely I use my iPhone. I didn’t discover that when using these devices, my controls are limited.

[@MadeByMarkDotCom]

Dude, I know how much goes into this kind of thing ... I'm just in awe. Great work, fun pacing, visually attractive. Thanks, man!

[@MarcKoenig]

Thank you for your kind words Mark! Means a lot from a fellow Roam traveler :)

[@supperham]

@@MarcKoenig yes, the coffee break within the video is a great visual pun and, well, it really helps one to catch some breath, since the pace is like whaaaat. and the vid is simply amazing, thank you so much.

[@ndsprivacydigitalsecurity4406]

I've been using Roam for nearly a year and I still learned a bunch of stuff (even though I kept stopping to think, damn Marc, this is a gnarly project to build.)!

[@MarcKoenig]

Wow I'm honored! Glad there were some tips for you in the 100

[@cabetoescobar]

This always give me a headache but i learn so much! Thank you Marc!

[@MarcKoenig]

Congrats, you did it! Now: don't try to solve apply all in one go! also, for a paced-out version where we work on all this together, join 30DaysofRoam: marckoenig.com :)

perhaps the ultimate PKM compliment

Thank you, cant wait to start implementing these tips!

[@noemiosbual2146]

Thank you for this! This is true to its title! Literally had no idea on Roam two weeks ago, but watching this video everyday helped me. Very precise. :)

[@kevinlawrence9553]

[@MarcKoenig]

💇‍♂️ this is the comment I needed

[@rangerbenn]

Marc.. I'm 30 days into using Roam and have watched most of the videos and taken several online courses.....this is THE BEST CONTENT OUT THERE ON USING ROAM....PERIOD . Super informative, concise, and FUN. Loved the example @13:33​ "Introducing Block References" ...."MAN ROAM IS DOPE!" ==> So is your video! 🙌🏻 Thanks!

[@MarcKoenig]

Thank you Benn! This give me immense joy to read

[@rangerbenn]

@@MarcKoenig I can only imagine the effort that when into this. The tighter the content , the greater the effort.... as Mark Twain wrote “I didn’t have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one.” And having each tip time-stamped and distinctly labeled in your vid should allow for periodic updates to keep up with the frenetic pace of development by the Roam community.... 🙌🏻

[@Pradologue]

17:57 Quick screenshot capture is the best trick 🚀 You just saved millions of seconds 🙌

[@geekmeee]

I capture screenshots on my iPhone all the time! However, they need to work on this for iOS…It works as designed on my Mac. On iOS after trying the command /Upload… Nothing happens on both devices for iOS?

[@markshpuntov629]

Amazing video, Marc! The fast way to capture a screenshot was my biggest takeaway! That makes storing stuff so much easier!

[@MarcKoenig]

glad you got an actionable tip! I use that one constantly bonus tip: you can tag screenshots by the kind of image it is to find quickly later. I tag all whiteboard brainstorming photos I archive and add to my database so I can find it later if I query [[topic]] + [[whiteboard-pics]]

[@markshpuntov629]

@@MarcKoenig great idea! Thanks!
