How to Make A Memex

A record of your thoughts and associations, which you will only share parts of with others.I use Roam for this.(I know the founders but I'm not paid to promote Roam; I just genuinely love the tool.)Roam has two main features that make it better than a simple notebook or text document: links and indents.Links, of course, allow you to make associations between pages. You can add and link pages as fast as you can type.Mainly, I use my memex as a personal record of my thoughts. ("Memex" has its own page.)  On each day's "daily notes", I add links to things I read, my reactions to conversations or things I've read, worries on my mind, drafts of arguments (diagrammed out with heavy use of indents; supporting arguments are threaded beneath the claims they justify) etc.
