Looks like pretty much the same idea around Org-Roam, which is already well established set of packages. There already exists a vibrant community with things that extend Org-Roam itself. Not sure how this would be any better than that, yet I cheer and appreciate any interesting ideas on that front.

Also, briefly checked https://tana.inc - which inspired the package, chuckled at: "The world's most powerful notes", and got the same question: "How is it more 'powerful' than Logseq, Obsidian, Org-Roam?"

Is org-roam still alive? Last release almost 3 years ago. Could be because it's nearly perfect, which, if so, great.

Org-roam just adds a thin layer of indexing nodes, nothing more. There's not much to it, so there's no churn.

Org-supertag isn't another version org-roam, it's totally differnt way. And, org-supertag can work with org-roram or Denote.

Your words suggest that you haven’t looked into org-supertag.

I didn't say "another version of org-roam", I said "looks like pretty much the same idea". My words suggest nothing of what you're accusing me, but rather suggest of what I thought it was, after reading the description in the readme. I'm not alone in that, other commenters have noted that as well: "the description is pretty abstract", says one of them.

To me, a long-time Org-Roam user, "TODO" is just adding a link to an org-roam node with the same name - which, again, after reading the description of the package, kinda, sorta feels like "pretty much the same idea". If you want to avoid unwarranted criticism (which my original comment was not), I suggest perhaps try explaining it better. I'm still not sure how org-supertag can complement Org-roam and Denote workflows.

You can’t represent others’ opinions. And you’re free to use whatever you want, it’s your choice. I was just pointing out that it seemed like you hadn’t really explored org-supertag but were making comments on it, which felt a bit like trolling.
