Roam very much reminds me of Natrificial’s “Brain”, which I first installed in mid-1999 and used extensively during my early university days.

It seems that the product is still up and running at www.thebrain.com (or at the very least, something very similar to it)

Here is the original announcement of Natrificial’s product way back in January 1998: https://www.wired.com/1998/11/when-your-computer-gets-a-brai...

Basically it was a kind of brainstorming/network software, but it could store documents, notes, and URLs at nodes. This was fairly innovative (for the time) and useful.

Crucially, it offered standalone .brn files for storage and exchange.
