Something beautiful is happening with all the early adopters of Roam and Roam-esque spin-offs.
So many are now build their own takes on PKM / CKM tooling, or joining teams doing the same. Strong early vibes created so much momentum and community education around TFT. Good model.

So you're saying there's Byzantine Rome-esque spinoffs?

CKM = Collaborative knowledge management
Similar to CSCW (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-) but with a specific focus on knowledge sharing
TFT = Tools for thought (numinous.productions/ttft/)

๐ฏ getting exactly those vibes too. Lots of interesting takes coming out. However, Vannevar Bush's take continuous to elude us somewhat. We're still building his Memex after all these years. The problem is definitely not yet solved.

Why are Personal Knowledge Graph tools focusing on note taking and not actual personal data?

Most of the ones Iโm seeing folks join or build have structured data and ontologies baked in as first class citizens. Youโll like the new cohort ๐

And many of those who aren't building/joining the TFT space are dying to ๐ฌ
Any suggestions for how to get a ticket on this train?

Good question โ I think the naive answer would be "just start making things!"
But that has lots of pitfalls. It would be more helpful to read up on the history and context of TFT, engage in lots of community events, and get a strong read on the core issues and research Q's first
