Working in a shared Roam graph can feel chaotic, bursting with potential if it could only be tamed.
I’ve never used anything that has felt so limitless for teamwork. But MAN it’s hard to get it right.

I’ve been obsessed with the idea of using @RoamResearch collectively ever since I started using it personally.
At its essence, I see Roam as a tool for synthesis.
Something that can help to capture fragments of thought, to later assemble into a compelling whole.

That pursuit of synthesis is *very* helpful as an individual, but I can’t shake the idea that it could be TRANSFORMATIVE for teams and organizations… or even societies.
Almost 4 weeks ago, we launched #RoamCollective — A project with the aim of exploring “How do we effectively collaborate within a shared Roam graph?”.
When we started, there was no master plan. It was created on a whim, with only a vague idea of where it could go.

Over time, the chaos resolved and patterns of communications emerged.
Bit by bit, it felt like we were making progress.
Today, communicating within the "RC” feels effortless — addictive even.

It feels easy to “ride the lightning” or run with an idea that grabs you — and doing that in "public” within the shared space gives others a chance to jump in and add to ideas as they emerge.
I get a strong sense of FLOW writing in the graph.

The beauty is that there is still SO MUCH to explore. As progress is made it becomes new scaffolding to stand upon.
Progress continues on the shoulders of the work completed.
But it gets easier over time, because the progress affects our ABILITY to work together.

It feels like we’re on the edge of something. A way to give communities a "jump-start” — to empower them to hit the ground running.
That’s what we’re trying to do — make it easier for others to follow in our footsteps.
To forge a trail and leave a path.

The project is open to anyone who wants to help out — I promise that it’s fun and that you will learn lots about using Roam along the way.
We all coach each other — and we all learn — all the time.
Learn through community engagement. Through action.
