We’re “doing things that don’t scale” to make this SUPER easy.
“The agora (/ˈæɡərə/; Ancient Greek: ἀγορά agorá) was a central public space in ancient Greek city-states."
A meeting place, to share ideas Roam-style.
A hub for the games.
A place to comment, interact, explore, and engage.
Why build an Agora?
Have you ever tried to browse the #RoamGames hashtag? Haha.
Goals:
- Track submissions past, present and future.
- Map how the submissions BUILD on one another.
- Inspire new projects through community engagement.
What is your vision for a Roaman Agora? Let’s build it together.
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.
Been working on that…
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.
Is it indicating an actionable research pursuit? Or a rhetorical prompt? Is it context-specific, or more universal? How well could you form an answer? If actionable, how urgent?
As I try on my questions processes, I’m again feeling limited.
Questions can also label the time stamp of the question the author is attempting to answer. So the question really labels an answer, while preserving the target question in mind.
As such, it’s more directional.
As it relates to content, I really need several domains:
Questions indicating the purpose of the highlighted passage.
Ever find yourself sitting there, working on something, and an old memory pops into your head?
An isolated moment, nearly forgotten, but brought into your awareness somehow — by some thread, some connection or trigger.
I find these moments amazing. While I might not have actively recalled the memory if I tried — it’s there, just waiting for the right resurfacing trigger.
What’s more amazing still, is having the means to capture them as they naturally arise.
— surprised at their arrival, and able to save them into a growing collection of similar fleeting memories.
