@mekarpeles @RoamResearch @AthensResearch I got the hypernote demo when Roam was still infant prototype on my local machine, but main benefit was showing me what NOT to do.
First day I tried it, did same test I had for my own tool - Euclid's elements.
It was still worse for this than nValt.

@mekarpeles @RoamResearch @AthensResearch The thing is, when youre at the frontier, seeing actual demos that help you clarify what you DON'T want is HUGE.
Graph.global was huge for my thoughts on "reified edges", which was 9 month dead end - but lead to backtracking and seeing need for page AND block refs.

@mekarpeles @RoamResearch @AthensResearch To be more specific Graph.global was huge for seeing first interface where you could treat [conor friends-with mek] and treat that as object to build new relationships on
[Conor friends with mek] due to [Belief in Memex]

@mekarpeles @RoamResearch @AthensResearch Notion deserves credit for a lot too, especially with respect to UI -- @ccorcos deserves much more credit than Notion though, because project that got him job at Notion (markdown parser that allowed arbitrary React components) solved HUGE bottleneck 4 us.
@mekarpeles @RoamResearch @AthensResearch @ccorcos Just the idea of it. Whether or not code was open source was totally irrelevant.
Had 10 minute conversation with him about the side project, with a few days, got up in middle of night and built {{[[TODO]]}} and {{[[DONE}}, which opened door for {{diagram}} and {{table}}.
