Hey

#roamcult: any general guidance on when something should an indented block vs a separate page? It seems like it's partly how long the block is and partly how far away in conceptual space the block is from other blocks. What do y'all do?

You can always embed the new page in the original one.

So that suggests defaulting to making every block it's own page, which I guess makes sense.

My thoughts are that if an indented block only exists to support the original note, it likely doesn't deserve to exist as a separate page. If it can provide support to other nodes in the network, then a page makes sense.

Ah, that's a good way of looking at it!

Btw have you and

thought about releasing recall data from Quantum Country? Would be useful for, e.g. replicating Wozniak's many claims supermemo.guru/wiki/Exponenti

Experiences at KA have taught me that anonymizing user data is fraught! But we may run such an analysis ourselves…

Wow. Thanks for sharing this! Inspired me to share my rough taxonomy that I use for #zettelkasten. Work in progress. Your thoughts on evergreen notes are spot on. achamess.github.io/ideas/taxonomy
