Announcement 1: after months and months of hard work from @hashbrown490 and our eng team, we've built the new back end that allows for API and Multiplayer.
Next week 20-30 users who have plans to build off API, or have multiplayer experiments they want to run will get 1st access
Announcement 2: We're starting a fellowship program where we are giving grants to researchers to explore the space of [[Tools for Thought]], [[Collective Intelligence]], [[Augmenting The Human Intellect]].
@dhrumilwbc is our first "Roam Fellow", more to come on that front later.
Announcement 3: We've committed 1M from our balance sheet, and 1M from our option pool to a [[Roam Fund]].
For makers building Tools for Thought generally...

Credit where credit is due. Would not have thought of giving the companies we invest in the option of taking shares in @RoamResearch if not for early encounters with @ivanhzhao and @NotionHQ

Please explain why the post-human superintelligence known as Jesus Christ established a church, and the relationship between the Priesthood of Melchizedek, the laying on of hands, energy healing, bio-electricity, neurobiology, neuroanatomy, somatic psychotherapy, and Faith… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
