Request for #RoamGames submission

@houshuang's Roam/Inter + @cortexfutura's smart blocks based tutorial.

My guess is there is a way we could have a public intro db that published via a roam-inter channel - and what it published fed a choose your own adventure tutorial
@cortexfutura's tutorial is great - but it's not like we want to start the user's off with a JSON export -- would be way easier to start them with a single block that "channelled" into a help graph

(we could also always iframe + have easy copy action)

Other thing I was imaginging when I heard the idea of @cortexfutura's submission but hadn't seen it yet -- if the smart blocks listened to their sibling blocks and needed you to complete some action before they could be activated.

Just realized this could be done with css
And.. took me 26 minutes of diddling to get this - #sniped loom.com/share/45de7284…

Testing out the [[roam/js]] [[Twitter]] integration from [[@dvargas92495]]

{{[[video]]: loom.com/share/59efa052…}}
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

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 “Never Eat Alone” by @ferrazzi

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.

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

roamresearch.com/#/app/help/pag…
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

🧵
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!

loom.com/share/13f19596…
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.
