A new interactive 3D globe view in Roam Portal. To visualize and explore cities, countries and places mentioned in your graph :) @Conaw @thepericulum #roamcult @roamhacker @calhistorian @RoamFm @beauhaan @AbhayPrasanna @shawnpmurphy8 @alycosta @CatoMinor3 https://t.co/LmUMlcslrs pic.twitter.com/JEiHhMekSz

Nice video by @mickmel on updates to Roam in November. https://t.co/Fc1t5NMAUo

YouGlish is a service for English language learners to search usage of words/phrases on YouTube. SmartBlock Builder guru @gijigae has built a SmartBlock to search YouGlish's with a page title as a default input and embeds the search result. #roamcult https://t.co/TYdv5OWJrt pic.twitter.com/hK6hfdziVE

flomo 记录API 已经发布了。

一天时间就收获了快捷指令，Alfred，automator三种快速记录的方式，过于舒适

不晓得后续还会有什么好玩的发生。

Under the hood, it leverages Next.js image optimization, Next.js pre-rendering, and the @Vercel edge network.

Evernote is the best knowledge garbage collection satation. Cliper is a garbage collector machine, Advacned Search feature is Garbage filter, Tag tree is a Garbage classifier.

Who would like to subscribe and pay for garbage ? https://t.co/5IcEYxQi5e

1st write notes in Obsidian or Roam

2nd publish

3rd people subscribe it.

4th people pay to subscribtion.

Obsidian and Roam just have share/publish , people can't subscribe it . Bcz they don't have subscribtion feature. This is Substack is doing thing.

Anddd, that's a wrap for #RoamBookClub v2!

...or should I say TRAP (heh, s/o Mike Kramer mnemonic)

RoamKasten™ #Zettelkasten

This is only the beginning. I have so much love for my #roamcult fam:sparkles: pic.twitter.com/1qyYdez7Qx

I'm building an extension that makes Twitter a better memex:

:star:️ Highlights: see someone's best tweets, not just most recent

:calendar: On This Day: revisit past tweets for inspiration

:mag: Search: find tweets to quote, w/ shortcuts for useful filters

DM me if you want to try the beta! pic.twitter.com/8dzJg00CyS

Hi #roamcult ! How efficient is your workflow for keeping on top of all your meeting notes, action items, contacts, projects and more?

Here's My GTD - How I Organize Meetings and TODOs in Roam. (supported by :sparkles:SmartBlocks:sparkles: thank to @roamhacker !)

So today @dvargas92495 brought up a really good question. Many are using SmartBlocks to not just build workflows for daily activities, but some are building very complex SmartBlocks with the JavaScript (connections to YouTube, GDrive, poetry and Shakespeare API's - wild stuff)

Recurring blocks / events / tasks / reminders

Roam42 contributor @shawnpmurphy8 has build a SmartBlock for a repeating tasks methodology in Roam.

Turns out if you connect a ClojureScript REPL to @RoamResearch , you end up with a live programming environment for modifying and extending Roam. Neat! pic.twitter.com/RSpaCPY0Iq

Recurring Task in Roam

Here is what this looks like in practice. In this video I create a 12 week plan for my Friday's weekly review using Roam42 SmartBlocks. RTD is one step closer to a reality. #RTD #RoamToDone #roamcult https://t.co/RxG7e0YTww

Another new feature from this weekend - If you put text inside ((double parentheses like this)) and do NOT extract the text into another block - you'll get ability to nest content inline - hidden behind a Roam Glyph https://t.co/56INTQMyWb

Quick demo of the kinds of styling customizations you can now do to your Roam graph using [[roam/css]] and the data attributes that we added to blocks.

Display blocks horizontally, in a grid - whatever you want https://t.co/LE4rrMwOUu

Using #Roam42 #SmartBlocks by @roamhacker to pull IMDb data into @RoamResearch database. https://t.co/poGLmTaj9u :grinning: Code on Github

I'm writing a case study of my in progress work on the onboarding for GuidedTrack, which I'll be publishing on my digital garden https://t.co/0AHRz69qXz . It's hypertext and spans multiple pages, and @obsdmd 's graph view is incredibly helpful for managing pages before I publish! pic.twitter.com/4aHtMsifSz

Haha yup same here. We are all seeking a better more improved collective understanding of our world via curated content that helps cut through the noise. Basically... shooting for increasing signal to noise ratio.

And here's the tour! Thanks @beauhaan for showing everyone a creative and effective way to use block references to power your Zettelkasten. Your approach enables rapid navigation b/w thoughts, demonstrating @RoamResearch 's tools in a way that surprised me https://t.co/gTUiSD1qtb

Yes! Thank you so much for adding this in. Was loving @CatoMinor3 's block styling JS hack but this makes it much easier.

Works so well for book notes where you're switching between author claims, responses, questions, and evidence

Designing block grids also very intriguing pic.twitter.com/iuKGSDMt8d

:memo:3 tips to up your note-taking game:

1) Avoid transcribing. Put it in your own words!

2) Take advantage of images and figures. Take screen shots and paste them directly into your notes.

3) Use RemNote's references to connect your present and past ideas for better learning

New version allowing for multiple film of the same name: https://t.co/rzPQ7FN5UZ Code on Github. Thanks @roamhacker for assistance!

Improved Page Embeds in @RoamResearch

Same as block embeds, but with page titles {{embed: [[like this]]}}

Use / command if you forget the syntax pic.twitter.com/cLXW501DjB

Happy Hannukah @mattgoldenberg !

I know you've been wanting better page embeds in @RoamResearch for over a year.

Finally got around to making something in that area that isn't completely terrible.

New #CSCW2020 preprint, led by Sunny Tian for her MEng thesis and @karger !

collaborators can switch back and forth between discussing and summarizing discussion all within one tool. https://t.co/WR8o4OwBeT pic.twitter.com/oBG6XjHJxg

There are three levels of knowing according to architect Matthew Frederick.

1. Simplicity, the child's world view.

2. Complexity, the adult's worldview.

3. Informed simplicity, the enlightened view of reality. pic.twitter.com/G6Kmn66gyw
