#RoamCult For new users who are like, "why is building a table or Kanban board so odd?" They are designed to take advantage of @RoamResearch's hierarchical relationships. Cells in a table row and Cards in a Kanban column are related. Use that to your advantage.
For example. Take a table. You can query for example for any value {a, b, c, d} in relation to "Item 1" since they are in the same hierarchy.
Similarly, for a Kanban Board - though constructing one is different {a, b, c, d} are still related to "Item 1." HOWEVER, as an advantage, in a Kanban board, block "a" is NOT related to block "b" outside of that fact that they share a parent.
For the table, you want cells in a row to be related directly (intimately). For a Kanban board, you want the Kanban cards to be related to the parent, but not necessarily to each other.
Last example, I use a Kanban board as a weekly agenda. All the cards in the column are related to: a calendar type (📅), a day of the week (Sunday), and the date (Jan 24th), and ignore the button (😁). So I could query "tasks for sunday," tasks for the 24th, etc.

#RoamCult if you ever thought Roam could not be used for a Weekly Review GTD style, it just requires Roamafying the workflow. Most data is removed or collapsed for privacy. Though #roam42 (@roamhacker) SmartBlocks are required. Doing this manually every week would be too much
This was just me finalizing from my old Weekly Review model:
I haven’t said this yet, but @RoamHacker, #roam42 [[SmartBlocks]] are the first step in a lot of what we have been talking about for months - a true [[central source of truth]] data repository in @RoamResearch which to link all our PKM arenas.
When the API comes out, I expect great things from you 😁. I know you do this for the love of it. Respect. But you are also changing peoples lives in subtle ways. I have spent the last decade teaching people to “learn how to learn”.
To encourage the unknowing, the unwilling, and the passionate to find themselves and discover joy in thinking. We all have our [[calling]]. You have allowed me to better engage in my own work - engage in my own thinking - and frankly being a better human.
@AGWilsonn - Ok. Again, for full context and an understanding of priors. I teach at a [[community college]], so students more likely: marginalized, unprepared, unconnected, and juggling the major stresses in their community.
I teach in one city in the California Bay Area, and another in the Central Valley of California. Both are majority “minority” student body. One a gentrified city, the other gentrified farm community (like any place in the US isn’t gentrified?!)
The most important [[pedagogical goals]] I have is helping students become “[[true student]],” as opposed to “fee paying individuals.” With that said, the goals wouldn’t be much different elsewhere.
