This is quite a popular thread. I understand there are certain things that you like in Roam that you can’t replicate in obsidian but you can’t always put your finger on it. Since this thread is important but is not going anywhere, I decided to split it up in multiple threads of actionable things.
I am not sure we can do all these things nor if we want to do all these things We’ll see.
- One of the first complains was that there wasn’t enough context. And we did add the option\button to show more context (more rows of text).
(EDIT) We could do more:
Show more context on backlinks and search panes - Another idea is to show context in the form of hierarchical information (path->header->list?)
Show heading title instead of note title in backlinks section - Show backlinks (and search) in preview mode [not the source code].
Display search results and backlinks in preview mode
This has been eased a bit because you can use pop-up preview - Show backlinks in preview mode and allow edit in place. This is likely gonna require wyswyg.
Edit transcluded (embedded) notes (blocks) in place (likely requires WYSWYG first)
A WYSIWYM (Typora-like) editing mode
Let me know if I missed something. Because I wanna close this and focus on the actionable parts.
