Definitely works - but I'm thinking there are a few upgrades that would be nice.
Twitter iirc provides a callback, so after sending, you could
A) add a link to the tweet, and a #sent tag on the same block
or
B) create a new block on [[roam/js/twitter]] with ref + link to tweet
wondering now also if [[@dvargas92495]] has done anything about querying twitter - and converting those into roam blocks.
I feel like [[@roamhacker]] has built a few extensions that would get him like 80% of the way.
[[@houshuang]] also figured out some nice ways to work w refs
@Conaw I'm curious what happens if we try to create a deeply nested thread from the get go
Appears not to work
This might make Roam a better writing interface for twitter than twitter for [[@visakanv]] if we got there though
@Conaw The hack is to use the reply feature -- again if we got the twitter URL available from the callback - see here - then this would just be an extra click
@Conaw [[Bug Reports]] The sent at feature seems to be removing the block from it's original context [[@dvargas92495]] - I lost the blocks, and found they were not on any page - only located via `(())` search

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.
Rather that worrying about how to break into “the network”, flip the problem, and be the person who connects people. Be the network, doesn’t matter what stage you’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 “remote research club”
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 didn’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.
Will give you all fair warning, this is likely to be one of the winners of the first #RoamGames challenge — which means if you build off it in an interesting way, you will win as well.
We’ll be issuing first 10k of awards for this in 2 days, but we may just keep issuing more.
