ga Vaughn! Use Roam, internal hyperlinks are mainly nouns, or high level topic categories I like to click on to see all instances of that topic I’m tracking in my current writings. I write strictly on the daily pages.

nice. do you have a rubric for creating a topic or deciding that a noun is significant enough to hyperlink? or have you automated?

Semi-automated for names or titles, other nouns I sometimes don’t link until I search and then create the link for all unlinked words. Personal topics often are just at my leisure. Cc: @in, you may have better flows to recommend.

Yeah I think the decision on what to turn into a node is pretty organic for me. There's the usual names, objects, concepts, subjects, tags, etc. but sometimes it's also like a recurring trope. I created the Autotag Roam Depot extension to automate subsequent linking (after the first time you create the node)
