Ecosystem

A number of packages work well combined with Org-Roam:

Deft

Deft provides a nice interface for browsing and filtering org-roam notes.

(use-package deft
  :after org
  :bind
  ("C-c n d" . deft)
  :custom
  (deft-recursive t)
  (deft-use-filter-string-for-filename t)
  (deft-default-extension "org")
  (deft-directory "/path/to/org-roam-files/")
  (deft-use-filename-as-title t))

Org-journal

Org-journal is a more powerful alternative to the simple function org-roam-today. It provides better journaling capabilities, and a nice calendar interface to see all dated entries.

(use-package org-journal
  :bind
  ("C-c n j" . org-journal-new-entry)
  :custom
  (org-journal-date-prefix "#+TITLE: ")
  (org-journal-file-format "%Y-%m-%d.org")
  (org-journal-dir "/path/to/org-roam-files/")
  (org-journal-date-format "%A, %d %B %Y"))
