My theory is this is the main benefit of meditation

Can’t read if you’re meditating

Have been working with the door closed for the past few years. @nikitonsky and I agreed yesterday that it's about time we kick it down.

Goal for the next 6 weeks:

30 tweet sized demos of small improvements and experiments shipped to @RoamResearch

Threaded here.

Wish us luck!
@nikitonsky @RoamResearch First demo. A new stand alone component for the / command [[streak]]

Provide it a reference to one or more pages or blocks, it will generate a heatmap showing how often that ref pattern appeared in your daily notes
