How I Built My Daily Notes Page Template in Roam Research through 1 year of daily use and refinement.
This will teach you how and why I built the Daily Notes template I use in Roam Research after 1 year of daily use and refinement. — One year ago, when I started using Roam Research, I struggled with the sheer emptiness of the daily notes page.
