So - pretty sure I just figured out a way you could get End to End Encryption for some or all of your @RoamResearch notes - as an open source #roamjs plugin - right now.
I'll sketch the idea out in this thread, and in 2 weeks, will award 10k to those who push the idea furthest
I'll also share another big decision we've made -- this week (if God wills it, inshallah, 🤞) we'll be shipping the first version of #roamdepot - an easy way to discover and install themes, javascript plugins, and community developed features that have been vetted by Roam team.
The obvious move would be to have #roamdepot be a marketplace - but we want to make sure the folks building free plugins are rewarded too - so to start we'll be distributing a portion of our revenue back to plugin authors based on installs and reviews.
Throwback to [[June 24th 2016]] - playing with @TheTedNelson's zzStruct demo
Would be incredible to navigate twitter threads like this
A few days later - trying to design a visual interface for a youtube filter that could express -- Videos about chemistry, favorited by accounts I follow, created by a user who is followed by 3 friends....
and you think my design was bad in 2018 :)
Two years later, starting to look almost like @RoamResearch
How @RoamResearch solves the problems that Google hasn't - ironically, my oldest recorded pitch is probably only thing out that talks about our long term vision.
Not touched in the video - how the layer on top of the web we're building is end-user programmable, an environment for @worrydream style Explorable explanations, and written in #clojure
If you think you should work at Roam, email support@roamresearch.com with your pitch on why we should hire you now. We might not get back to you for a while, and if we do @MikejNorman might be pissed that we didn't have job spec written for the role first, but shoot your shoot.
This is the deepest injustice no one talks about, and one we have a chance to actually do something about with software... without the system’s permission.
Law is the code of our social operating system, we can build better tools for understanding it, using it, and changing it.
