Alright - @thepericulum and I are working through the night to try to pick winners for #roamgames 1 and 2

These submissions are absolutely unreal - and we're only 2 weeks into the planned 12 week experiment.

I'm just going to start by tweeting out top contenders and comments
For Challenge 1:

The obvious pick for me was going to be @houshuang's Roam/inter

it's a solid MVP that pushes true multiplayer graphs forward by at least 6 months

What shocked me here were two things - even though I hinted this was a likely winner, only two (+ me) put forward anything that I could see as "riffing" on the idea, or nudging it forward at all.

@nathanlippi and @kvistgaard

Cool hearing @pmarca cite โ€œNever Eat Aloneโ€ by @ferrazzi

Rather that worrying about how to break into โ€œthe networkโ€, flip the problem, and be the person who connects people. Be the network, doesnโ€™t matter what stage youโ€™re at.

One of most important books in my career.
Example - when I wanted to learn #Clojure, I went to a conference, and asked the speakers whose talks or prior work I really respected to join a โ€œremote research clubโ€

An email list with one rule

you had to tell the group about an open question you had every week.
I was super new to Clojure, but that didnโ€™t matter, because this weird norm got some really smart folks sharing really interesting problems with each other.

I had no business being at that table, except that I was the one who set the table.

Interested in a job writing #Clojure at @RoamResearch

Here's a new smaller backend challenge (+ alternative to 7GUIs if you want to also be considered for UI engineer)

10k referral bonus if we hire someone you recommend

And yes, you can refer yourself

Extension of this experiment

Also suspect this would be great util to help #roamjs hackers working on multiplayer like @houshuang

So @SamCorcos from Levels is currently visiting the Roam Compound and <shock horror!> he uses Notion...

Gracious host that I am, I provided MULTIPLE reasons Roam might just not be a good fit for him yet, but he INSISTED on showing me a video of workflow

Whoa boy was I wrong

๐Ÿงต
Video is a 10 minute walk-through of ONE of his routines - prepping calls the night before they happen.

Again, I try to stop him - Not only do I rarely prepare for calls, I ask folks not to schedule them and to call randomly instead.

We're different!

It may be strange - but these days - no joke - I do pretty often tell folks that Roam might not be a good fit for them right now.

You can't be everything to everyone - and some folks just have different priorities.

In the case of Sam, my judgement was wrong.

Will give you all fair warning, this is likely to be one of the winners of the first #RoamGames challenge โ€” which means if you build off it in an interesting way, you will win as well.

Weโ€™ll be issuing first 10k of awards for this in 2 days, but we may just keep issuing more.
Few ideas Iโ€™ll contribute (I am not awarding myself a prize, but that doesnโ€™t mean I canโ€™t play along)

1. Custom Styling, using #.block-level classes so the inputs and content from other graphs appears different / is not editable.

data is mostly there to style blocks as tweets.
2. Permissions and chat-ID discovery

Weโ€™ve given many in the #roamcult dev community access to experimental graphs with a full read and write api

This feature is cool bc end users donโ€™t need that to get multiplayer

But... you could use an alpha graph as registry of sorts

$1000 for 500 homemade COVID-19 vaccines.

If youโ€™re literate in biology, and already do illegal drugs for fun, I DEFINITIVELY would encourage you to read this, and the cited paper, and consider trying yourself.

Too many people only break the rules their friends break.

@csvoss @LauraDeming @celinehalioua is this legit?
