It’s not a writing system, it’s a thinking system whose byproduct is writing
Writing is thinking. It leads to discovery.
Discovery is where the magic happens, often by accident.
Some of the most innovative and beloved products started as the byproduct of another creation.
In the case of a thinking system, that byproduct is writing, much of which is revisited and tended to regularly. Which is Why I like Roam over Bear for improving my thinking.
Every time you tend to an idea you create an opportunity to share original work with others. You also advance your ideas and improve how you articulate your original thoughts.
