I've finally figured out my Instapaper->@RoamResearch workflow. Here's a Chrome plugin github.com/houshuang/inst…, based on the work of @sawyerh and @GeirGulbrandsen. It goes through all the Instapaper pages, and copies all clippings to the clipboard in Roam friendly format.
I've been reading a lot, and putting off the processing. Pasting into Google Docs, I have 82 pages of dense clippings. I start each bullet with the page title, link to the original URL, and a tag so I can easily distinguish clippings from other content.
I can then leisurely process a few inputs every day. Here's an example of some notes from a great article by my colleague Christine Looser medium.com/@celooser/were…. I read this while in transit, or maybe at the playground while my kid was playing. Now I can go back and process.
I add a few keywords, so that the next time I'm thinking about attention this will come up, and I format it slightly. Takes only a minute. I might also add my own thoughts, or link to other concepts. Then I just add the #p tag, and with a filter, it disappears from my inbox.
I also like to use a query to lift up all the notes I typed myself, since these often indicate things that are particularly interesting to look into, or connections.
I doubt this is useful to anyone, but as an illustration of the format, here's a public copy of my clippings roamresearch.com/#/app/stian-re…
Improvement: I'm now storing a hash of all the exports, only exporting new or changed articles, and letting you clear the cache (will export all articles again). Took a bit of fiddling, but very happy with the result. github.com/houshuang/inst…
An afternoon well spent - really loving this workflow. Just wish highlighting on @instapaper on iPhone was less janky - force-push which often is not picked up, or jumping around, confusing with dragging left to go back to menu, etc. Could really need some work.
Finally got started on reading @Meaningness, really enjoyed this essay on the illusion of understanding. meaningness.com/understanding. Experimented with using voice input to capture some notes - worked fairly well.
Also enjoyed this essay by @kevinakwok on collaboration tools like Slack, Dropbox and Discord - the Arc of Collaboration kwokchain.com/2019/08/16/the…
