✨NEW ROAMJS ANNOUNCEMENT✨

I'm very excited to announce the launch of RoamJS's first two Services: Social and Static Site!

RoamJS Services are licensed extensions that give users access to RoamJS resources to get the most out of their Roam graphs

1/

RoamJS Social allows users to schedule content for publishing at a later date!

This is integrated with the Twitter extension to schedule Tweets, with plans to integrate with more services in the future.

Get started at roamjs.com/services/social

Demo: loom.com/share/bd36ac06…

2/

RoamJS Static Site allows users to publish pages in their Roam Graph as a static personal website!

Manage website content, filters, subdomain, page templates and so much more, all from within Roam.

Get started at roamjs.com/services/stati…

Demo: loom.com/share/3f62636b…

3/

Services require an account with RoamJS. Once subscribed, you will be issued a token which will be copied and pasted with the extension once you load it into your graph.

If you need help getting set up, please reach out and we'll schedule a call!! This feedback is invaluable

FUTURE OF ROAMJS

These are just the first two services I'm launching. Over the next few months, I want to grow RoamJS by creating new and improving existing extensions and services.

Services will give me the flexibility to devote more resources to each

5/

Since services are basically licensed extensions, it opens the door to OTHER Roam hackers offering premium extensions through RoamJS.

This is not currently supported, but if you're interested please reach out so we could think through what this could look like

6/

Every line of code written for these services is open source:

- RoamJS: github.com/dvargas92495/r…
- Social: github.com/dvargas92495/r…
- Static Site: github.com/dvargas92495/r…

I welcome any and all who want to take pieces of what I built and build on top of it

7/

With this launch, I get to start testing a thesis: the value in SaaS is in the service, not the software. Without profitability, there would be little other reason for software to be private.

There is so much more to gain than lose by making our logic publicly accessible

8/

I get to also begin building my portfolio of small bets with this launch, an idea I stole from @dvassallo.

Being supported by a portfolio of small web services, each with its own niche audience will allow me to be unemployable forever :)

9/

I talk more about this launch in my latest blog post: davidvargas.me/blog/launching…

Oh, and @Conaw, looks like I beat you guys to paid plugins ;)
