A growing list of public Roam graphs I wish to see:

1. The British Museum Graph features every exhibited item, its history, and linked references in terms of the time period, location, usages, empires involved, and more.

Includes pictures, and a thread on restoration process
2. The Rome Roam Graph covers the entire city of Rome from district development to historical photographs uncovering landmarks, recorded events, battles, technological developments, breakthroughs, etc. all the way down to battles in the Colosseum

Roam Graph = A historical GPS
3. The Volcano Graph holds geological data, updates, and lava activity of every single discovered volcano.

Volcanos are categorized by region, under/over sea level, dormant, last erupted, and overall impact on humanity eg. the impact of Vesuvius on Pompeii
4. The ISS Graph is the Multiplayer Roam graph for the International Space Station.

Each astronaut has their own graph, block refs into one shared graph only used in space, records all activities, experiments, and observations

Only blocks ever created in space 👀
5. The UN Graph covers every convention, agreement, policy change (with versions) and becomes a space for initiatives to be pushed within the realm of international relations and policy.

From trade agreements to peacekeeping initiatives, all are recorded and discussed in 1 graph
6. A Nation graph.

eg. A giant multiplayer Country graph consisting of block refs from multiple State graphs. Covers policy, taxation, votes, etc.

Everything is up to date, no need for papers, all data lies on the same graph.

Could potentially do a census through Roam?
7. Military Command Graph

A Roam graph used by higher-ups within an army to make decisions based on data provided by intel, spies, scouts, double-agents, etc.

Imagine a roundtable of 3-Star Generals using a Roam Graph to plan their next operation
8. Double Life graph

The private Roam graph of a double-agent. A spy that has infiltrated a country for 20 years: what are they thinking about? Would they track their loyalty through journaling? Multiple languages?

A secret code in case their graph gets compromised?
9. Cancer Research Graph

A collaborative graph around a type of cancer, shared by many researchers globally. They share all their findings in one graph, and discussions are transcribed/added to it.

Waiting for that eventual block that says:

"We found a cure."
10. A Lord of the Rings Graph

You know I know we need this. All of Tolkien's works, and current Tolkien scholars working on one collaborative graph connecting the dots. All of his lore and research and findings in one place.

And Viggo Mortensen 'cause he's cool
11. Exposed Operations graph

A graph of secret military operations that have been kept secret but are now released to the public. References on what happened. Connections to names involved. Logistics, casualties, reports, evidence, etc.

It'll be a historian's goldmine there
12. Royal Family Graph

If the British Royal Family had a shared graph, then they could trace their lineage back down to the first King as well as all of those who may be of descent as well. More royals!
13. Historical Artifacts Graph

Findings on recent artifacts detailing how they were unearthed and who discovered them. A whole list of explorers, adventurers and archaeologists working together to map the world of human history.

Basically I love Indiana Jones
14. The #roamcult Graph

A growing automated graph of all tweets with the hashtag #roamcult, with pages of users, most used keywords, to thread Twitter activity

(Inspired by API possibilities)
15. The Codex Leicester Graph

Contains the collection of scientific writings by Leonardo Da Vinci himself, with illustrations, notes and scans to be referenced everywhere. Linked references to animals, machines, art, paired with dates for each page

The Roamaissance Man
16. A KPOP group Graph

Because even networked thought we must stan
17. [[Roam Fund]] and [[Roam Fellows]] Public Graph

Roamans want to know who @RoamResearch is supporting: A public graph for Fellows to block ref in from their private graphs to give us updates on what they're doing, and where to check it out

18. The Aboriginal Australia Graph

Having used to live in Sydney, I want to see more of the land from a connected thought POV:
19. The Tripitaka Graph

Collecting all the sutras in multiple languages, and preserving evergreen wisdom

Roaming 🎶

On the go🎶
Immediate behavioral changes: all my quick notes and random findings throughout the day I send it directly to Roam instead of drafts

Easier to send everything to DNP so I can sort and organize them EOD

Haven’t tried long sessions with a keyboard yet
Currently out and whipped out my laptop to sync my notes

Had both instances of Roam (had it running before I opened the laptop) and mobile Roam open

10s after connecting to the internet, immediate syncing between the both of them

Ahhh life is bliss

🧐 I have a feeling we explored this question in the convo with @beauhaan on the relationship between identity and note taking

We write to find ourselves, idolize those who have already done so, and will fight for our semantics and systems because really it’s us in written form
Maybe I’ll do a livestream to explore the question “Why you care about taking notes” next week
Hmmm. What else to add Image

Unconventional ways to grow your knowledge graph:

1/ Learn a language with a completely different structure. Recognise implicit and explicit meanings, contexts, and forms.

Apply that understanding to your semantics. Your notes are the language of perception of the world
2/ Watch a kid play with toys. If they stop using it as intended, they will imagine 20 ways to have fun with it.

Do the same. Your notes don’t have to stick to the same framework, line of thinking, and angle all the time. They are fleeting toys designed to occupy your time
3/ Record yourself saying your notes out loud.

Outliners are designed to ‘format’ connections we inherently understand on our screen. Saying them out loud makes them explicit, tangible.

What if in that moment, your words change and drift off into something unwritten? CHASE IT

In today's episode of playing with CSS, oh god what did I do oh god @CatoMinor3 😂
My CSS chops aren't good enough to make the ref section a 'pseudo-window' where I can quickly look at it by scrolling horizontally to the left hmm...gonna play around with the numbers a bit
This looks not bad actually...I can live with it

Just had some problems with main page width - now I'm stuck on always full if I'm willing to stick with this layout from now on hmm

Introducing a new project: Roam Dervish! A twist to the standard @RoamResearch coaching.

If you want to elevate your workflows, thinking, and converse with your notes on a deeper level with guidance, you've come to the right place!

There are two types of coaching shared below: Image
1 - General Roam Coaching

If you're in need of upgrading your workflow, this is for you 🚀

If you need workflow advancements, feature deep dives, Roam-related ideas fleshed out, this is it!

The goal is to develop your own unique Roam! More in this vid:
They stem from both my show (RoamFM) as well as the growing YouTube playlist + livestreams where I think out loud in public and show how I use the tool.

Here's an example of my workflows in action:

This series is now released! Enjoy my foray into creating a custom setup for your note-taking tool (for me it's @RoamResearch 😊) #roam

Let's go through what they cover:
The first is on your note-taking principles!

I explore the relationship between our information diet (what you take in intentionally/as a default), semantics and more for note-taking purposes, because what we perceive is what we take note of!
Next is taking the above and applying it to a digital context, in my case it's #roam !

How do you prepare your notes for recall? What does it mean to write notes primed for integration? Do you consider context-dependent insight (h/t @cortexfutura)?
