So I recorded a series of videos talking about how to build your own custom setup in Roam, but it ended up being a 2 hour spiel of inner/outer principles, aesthetics, perception, attention manipulation, third party apps, and rationales to not depend on other people’s systems…
…to protect your semantics and individual thinking patterns

I’m not sure if I should release any of it because I have a feeling I went way off topic 😂

(Based off of qt)
I’ll edit them for now to see if I can salvage anything out of it, or if it’s all genuine rambling or ‘roam-talking’ lol
Here's an audiogram teaser for pt 1. (full thing is 20 mins long sheesh)

This series is now released! Enjoy my foray into creating a custom setup for your note-taking tool (for me it's @RoamResearch 😊) #roam

Let's go through what they cover:
The first is on your note-taking principles!

I explore the relationship between our information diet (what you take in intentionally/as a default), semantics and more for note-taking purposes, because what we perceive is what we take note of!
Next is taking the above and applying it to a digital context, in my case it's #roam !

How do you prepare your notes for recall? What does it mean to write notes primed for integration? Do you consider context-dependent insight (h/t @cortexfutura)?

Pretty much every block level informational workflow 🤩

I call it the chaos-order spectrum, and our job is to move any thought from left to right via structure and sense~

Chaos for breadth, order for depth!
The difficult part is (and even now I’m messing up on it) is expressing these two types with the same UI

I’ve made do with aesthetics to determine differences, page specific frameworks to make it distinct etc. but still. Some parts are failing 20% of the time eg. Search recall
Maybe later on I’d love to have something like “filter by format”, “overhaul advanced block search”, “EDN viewer” (minimal viewing app that can read EDN files and I can take it on the go with me?), and more to test a few things

Here’s to testing malleability of this spectrum!

Great thread.

I like to advocate for a pragmatic use of Roam, because the tool itself is fundamentally useful, and what you can learn from the tool you can apply to your own endeavours (or other tools/fields, the world is yours!)
As an aside to this, the one who introduced me to Roam, my friend @AlbanBrooke shared similar sentiments and unfortunately got banned as well.

I do agree with recognising, acknowledging, and fixing mistakes: that's true for both companies and individuals

But some of these mistakes could have been avoided eg. applying well-intentioned barriers to create a healthy discussion didn't have to include a massive ban spree w/o explanation

Friends and fans were hurt in the process and that's going to make this event emotionally charging

Good news: I blew my own mind today by experimenting with a new form of longform writing workflow that works well in Roam

Drafted it out on paper and thinking YES THIS WORKS

Bad news: Now I need to study Smartblocks to make the template work efficiently GDI
I think I've given myself something impossible to do

How the heck does one design "create 8 header blocks and leave behind blockrefs in earlier blocks above it according to hierarchy" my brainnnnnn
Nvm for now manual is fine, need to test if this experiment is sustainable first of all

And now they will think:
I wonder if Reddit as a platform’s the cause hmm…may want to explore works on open/closed communities with varying levels of governance in the future for personal research

This is happening tonight!

Just need to recover from spicy food (intense stuff guys) and I’ll start doing some pre-readings on attention 🧠
Also unsure if I want to have music on the stream or not

Spent the day listening to Sarah Vaughan and that’s not exactly tools for thought music is it 😅
Live now!
