Congrats @equartey and @paystack team!

Big win for #roamcult in West Africa.

Brilliant move from @patrickc @collision and @stripe
3am call with @equartey many months back remains easily one of my favorite user calls of all time.

The guy is a genius, level of integrity and compassion and work ethic was just radiating off him.

So great to hear that @Paystack had a huge payday. So well deserved.
Also, never heard someone speak so highly of @fortelabs #BASB course.

Tiago if you can, try to get a testimonial from @equartey

Might be one of your biggest success stories of all time.

Definitely changed my understanding of how impactful your work can be.

Wait... WTF?! @garyvee follows me now?!

"Jab Jab Hook" is probably the single most important marketing concept I ever learned.

Mental model that got me writing threads on here long before we had a product ready for launch.

How we got our 1st 100 users

Thanks for follow @garyvee, and for the idea.

Even before I got on Twitter, probably was reason our company didn't die.

When @RoamResearch was 👶 I would teach researchers a pen and paper based productivity system for free.

It helped them, and got us the funding to stay afloat

in last year... many interviews with users with story like this

Google "Zettelkasten" -> land on the article that researcher wrote -> try it -> #RoamCult

Even though he prefers the analog index card system I taught him!

Wherein @mhuebert lays out the case for @RoamResearch and major parts of the next 6 month's roadmap.

px16.matt.is
To be clear, I've never met Matt.

Have heard about him and his work from two sources in past 6 weeks.

This is just what it looks like when you're looking at the [[Adjacent Possible]] -- different minds coming to same conclusion.
11 months before we incorporated.

So @halsey and @machinegunkelly made an EMO SONG together and it is without a doubt the best thing to happen to my ears this week.

Classic, time tested song structure - surprising curveball for the audience, done so well it makes them rethink what they like.

Absolute Genius.
An emo song and the people who made it = what really makes America great.

Best thing about @machinegunkelly bringing early 2000s Emo back...

I didn't have the stones to admit to myself that I liked the genre the first time round.

That double bass drum though, absolute 🔥

Design at @RoamResearch

You can view an N dimensional shape in an N-1 space if you view it one step at a time.

This is why the sidebar matters.

Its why zooming in and out matters

Its why filters and opening and closing bullets matters

We could do so much more.

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...

And founders building new products/experiences via our API, or content businesses off Roam multiplayer specifically.
