Cool Stuff to check out
Ideas for the Roam / App/Athens Research API
Roam could be used as the backend for The Company
New saves would be imported directly into the Roam database and linked / referenced correctly
Custom embeds
Automatically import various saves into roam
Import all stared articles from pocket
import all liked / bookmarked tweets
Reddit saved
pocket stars
{{DONE}} Tweetbot for roam
automatically export new pages with a certain tag
these can become pages in a blog
Dynamically link to source materials
Why and where is a dynamic source material link useful? questions
Specify a source online and have an automatically imported to roam
Link a source (webpage) to a roam page
If the source page is updated the roam page is updated
Link / quote fragments of a webpage
Same way that hypothes.is does
Connect to 3rd party APIs
connect a roam page to my notion words page
Connect and save articles read in Pocket
When an article is archived and tagged with Pocket add it to a page in Roam with the correct tags
How would this work? Something using the unofficial Pocket API?
Store Reddit saves
Subscribe to changes on a shared page or block
track coversation and edits
see changes over time to an idea
git for ideas
Native notification system
use as a replacement for a habit tracker like Loop
simple yes-no notification adds a block to my daily page
roam block search outside of roam
A little chrome extension that watches your chrome tab and searches for similar pages in your roam db
using a keyboard shortcut it could pull up a window similar to the emoji picture in OS x and search for a roam thought from anywhere
Create a dropbox like app but for roam
downloads markdown backup of roam
associate file has with page UID
watch a folder for changes to markdown files
sync changes to roam
seamlessly integrate video in roam
Roam to Digital Garden export support

Pain Points
Sliders
Want to filter by slider value
Want to specify a default slider value
Graph
Want to hide attributes from graph
hide specific pages from graph (for example daily pages or TODO)
Want to show 2 degrees of separation in the page graph
1st degree is everything we manually added to the page
2nd degree shows associations of associations
Want to hide attributes from the top of a page
Search
Want to hide some pages & blocks from search
{{DONE}} css page should never show up in search Fixed!
Filters for search
Filter out pages of a specific namespace
permanent filters
a search always filters out Recipe/ or something like that
global filters should apply to search
maybe this is damage control but it seems as though the [Roam Research] is unfounded.
Doing some more thinking about the future of the newsletter inside Roam Research. I could see a future platform where the RoamAlphaAPI automatically block references the newsletter into your daily page as well as sends an email formatted version to your inbox. This allows for connections to a central newsletter graph as well as making the blocks available for your own remixing and removal.
John A. Taylor has another interesting way of organizing notes in Roam Research on the way to Evergreen Notes
> 🚧 This page is an experiment in learning in semi-public. Misc bits I learn about Gatsby will be recorded here on the way to creating an automated Digital Garden that pulls from Roam Research 🚧
I see a lot of people implimenting different systems to give pages types. Systems like PARA, Person/Maggie Appleton's modified Evergreen Notes system, etc. Even within my own Roam Research graph I have pages for all types of things including:
The slip-box was the start of the atomic idea. Evergreen Notes and Roam Research have based themselves on this concept of thinking
I wonder what the interconnected web will look like after Roam Research opens up its multiplayer. Could you search across public blocks of the interroam like a twitter search? How do you visualize the interroam? In 3d?
