What makes Blocks in Roam Research different

In this video, I talk a bit about how "blocks" in Roam work – more specifically, how they are different from a paragraph in a Microsoft Word document, for example.

The idea for this video came from a thread RoamHacker put out – definitely worth a follow here and on Twitter if you're into all things Roam Research! RoamHacker on YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClmpveyXiwZP3PlKpDKdGEA RoamHacker on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/roamhacker
