This is such a cool feature. It allows for a lot of 'asides and also's' without breaking up paragraphs. So elegant how it is presented as a reference just like a block reference. Easy on the eye without losing the interconnectedness that makes Roam so powerful.
After a couple more days of using these block comments, I am convinced this is one of the best improvements in @RoamResearch ever. Here’s 1 neat trick:
If you build an outline for an article using existing block references, the block comments are the best way to go from ‘outline bullets’ to full text.
It’s so easy to write sentences based on all kinds of block references and then simply drag the original reference into a block comment.
That way you turn your article into a fully written full draft without losing the references you used in the first place.
I made a short video on how to use [[roam/comments]] to go from block outline to first draft. Hope this is helpful. @RoamResearchloom.com/share/140fdf08…
