Hi Mark,

1) TiddlyBlink was deliberately created to imitate features in Roam, as an 
experiment of mine. That is the whole point of it. My own notetaking TW, 
Idea Stew, builds off of TiddlyBlink, but deviates from it.

2) Roam has transclusion, yes.

3) In this case, TiddlyBlink has a major advantage: it is not a SaaS. That 
is why people are getting excited about it. It is offering them a good 
chunk of the Roam experience without locking their data into someone else's 
service. So it is not unreasonable in this case to replicate many of the 
features of Roam, but in a TiddlyWiki kind of way.

4) On the other hand I am not doing it slavishly. It would be easy to add 
TiddlyGraph as TiddlyRoam does, but I don't think that feature of Roam is 
essential or desired. But the sidebar in Roam is a huge plus for writing, 
so I first replicated it somewhat with a parallel tab, and now with Saq's 
Stories not-quite-yet-a-plugin and the folding.
