Just published a new version of gatsby-theme-brain with a few cool new features!
Conversation
1. Linkified hashtags. Previously the theme only supported generating links based on [[]] syntax, now, optionally, you can use # syntax, again, same as Roam. I'm making it optional in case you don't use this feature in Roam but use hashtags in other ways.

2. Previewing of backlinks. Instead of just having a link in the Linked References list, you can now have a preview show up from the context around the link.

The backlink previews is still evolving, I'm not certain what the best heuristic is to extract the preview, but it is a reasonable and working approach currently, so figure it is good enough to ship. You can see what it looks like on my site.

Hopefully these changes prove to be useful! I think this gets it pretty close to the necessary core feature set, let me know if there are other things that are still needed. From here I mostly want to start incorporating more cool UI components to make it nicer to use by default

Going to just continue this as a feature announcement thread.
New Features:
- Support for multiple note types. Declare a type->template map in the config, and then set the type in the frontmatter to use it
- Added an option to hide the double brackets when generating links

Nice! Love these updates. Getting overexcited to dig into these on Tuesday now
I’m having to restrain myself from implementing it early and ruining the whole point of the stream lol
