The article documents the author's move away from Roam Research to Obsidian for personal notes. It focuses on the practical mechanics of switching: migrating existing content and setting up syncing so notes and images remain available across devices. The author does not treat the two tools as equivalent; the emphasis is on making the transition without losing data.
While the source is not directly about machine learning, it reflects the kind of workflow engineering that matters for practitioners who maintain large research note collections. The main takeaway is that a successful migration plan needs to cover both the note text itself and the images attached to it.
For anyone considering a similar switch, the guide offers a useful reference point: the hardest part is often not exporting content, but keeping it synchronized and usable afterwards.
