2 Target Audience

+ +

Org-roam is a tool that will appear unfriendly to anyone unfamiliar with Emacs +and Org-mode, but is also extremely powerful to those willing to put effort in +mastering the intricacies of the tools. Org-roam stands on the shoulders on +giants. Emacs was first created in 1985, and remains a top tier tool for editing +text and designing textual interfaces. The malleability of Emacs allowed the +creation of Org-mode, an all-purpose plain-text system for maintaining TODO +lists, planning projects, and authoring documents. Both of these tools are +incredibly vast and require significant time investment to master. +

+

Org-roam assumes basic familiarity with these tools. It is not difficult to get +up and running with basic text-editing functionality, but one will only fully +appreciate the power of building Roam functionality into Emacs and Org-mode when +the usage of these tools become more advanced. +

+

One key advantage to Org-roam is that building on top of Emacs gives it +malleability. This is especially important for note-taking workflows. It is our +belief that note-taking workflows are extremely personal, and there is no one +tool that’s perfect for you. Org-mode and Org-roam allows you to discover what +works for you, and build that perfect tool for yourself. +

+

If you are new to the software, and choose to take this leap of faith, I hope +you find yourself equally entranced as Neal Stephenson was. +

+
+

Emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that +the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply +makes everything else vanish. – Neal Stephenson, In the Beginning was the +Command Line (1998) +
