Discord/Slack but the channels emerge bottom-up @RoamResearch style. Thoughts @Conaw ?

Yesss! I've been ideating on what a sane conversation app might look like and it seems to me like the metaphor of "channels" is weird & limiting in almost exactly the same way the notes metaphor of files & folders is weird & limiting. Thoughts so far:https://roamresearch.com/#/app/malcolmocean/page/Tbh3Tm5ju …

The main things Roam is missing atm to be able to do this are: - notifications - the ability to have blocks that are clearly timestamped, single-authored, and not naturally editable-later, so that they represent a particular utterance (even if later "updated")

Oh and this second thing would be super valuable to have for external quotations as well—if I copy a book in, then page-link a phrase it in, then rename the page, I don't want the original quote to be edited! & visual distinction, even when blockref'd elsewhere, "not my words"

Anyway, there are a few other key pieces, and exactly what's needed depends on whether we're talking a chat layer built on top of a Roam API, or making modifications to core-Roam to directly support these kinds of use-cases. I imagine we'll see a mix of both.

Trying to better imagine what this would look like... but it's literally just Roam with Messaging / Slack with Bi-Directional Linkshttps://www.figma.com/proto/DpLLNYcz4KBRdvJ29p1kZK/slack-x-roam?node-id=29%3A1045&scaling=scale-down …
