#RoamGames submission: Roam Inter. Create streams anywhere in your graph. Other Roam graphs can easily subscribe to any feed, at any place in their graph. Streams are updated in near-real time, and support block-references and embeds!
Could be used to keep track of work across a small team (daily updates etc)
@RoamResearch #roamcult
You can even subscribe to the Roam Change log, and receive updates directly in your database.
Newsletters that publish directly to your DB.
Roam books as subscriptions.
Since streams are full Roam blocks, you can also automatically import SRS cards, use linked references, etc
I first wrote up this concept here: roamresearch.com/#/app/stian-re… one week ago
The code is here github.com/houshuang/roam…. It is absolutely not ready for regular use - I cut a lot of corners to get this demo done. However, it absolutely works, just needs quite a bit of polish and stability.
Note that this goes beyond publishing from one Roam to another. It could be used with bridges across any two systems - with some fidelity translation (easier with Workflowy than with RemNote etc). Might need to change name from Roam Inter to Inter...
Could also become a universal gateway to plugins/bridges... Imagine being able to trivially subscribe to a twitter thread/search, RSS feed, a Reddit/Hacker News threaded discussion... If all of the code to distribute, subscribe, and keep your db up to date is secure+performant...
Frees up plugin/bridge developers to focus just on transforming one data structure to another or interacting with different APIs.
Could also imagine subscribing to a Google Doc, or a Google Spreadsheet, rendered as a table in your graph. Or your personal fitbit data...
Experiment: Automatically add highlight color to any text you publish to your stream, including from block references, to clearly distinguish private vs published info. loom.com/share/bf0ace72…
Hmm... an approach to "chat" / async brainstorm, where you can reference stuff from each other's streams...
Now I just need a bit smoother way to set it up.
