The Sidebar is a killer feature that’s largely overlooked in favor of fancier features like bi-directional links.
While the ability to quickly cross-referencing notes in Roam is impressive, I am surprised by how useful it is to simply be able to work with multiple notes at the same time! You can open 1, 2, …multiple notes in the sidebar and work with all of them real time cut/pasting/re-arranging – and most importantly – discovering common concepts between them!
This “multiple notes open at once” seems like such a low tech feature I am surprised that it might just be the most powerful feature I use on Roam!
