        When you talk about "extended universe" usages of Roam, what do you mean?

        Building large, sprawling, nonlinear interconnected texts with the structure of comic book universes like MCU

        I'm surprised you did not mention Medium. It has been my default container of anything long form in the past few years. Simply because I'm too lazy for an alternative. Where does it fit in this future you see?

        It doesn’t. It’s old and entirely failed to have the kind of revolutionary impact it was supposed to. It’s just a sideshow from the past.

        I think that @coda_hq with their publishing feature are on the path of a different way to publish. Dynamic and public online documents.

        I want to believe this is true. Except this part about blogging dying. I don't really see that happening. Most people blog along in the negligible range and it's fine. If they get that big, it's a solvable problem. Also blogging on static sites drops the load a lot! :)

        If middling success isn’t sustainable, the margins degenerate to online journaling rather than an interesting medium.

        Great post! have you encountered http://Hypothes.is  ? I believe this layer of annotation on the existing web could also be hugely influential on the text renaissance.

        This is super interesting. Reminds me a lot of https://relaychat.app  A layer of text based, social interactivity on top of websites and articles. Wonder if this adjacent trend will grow to significance or if it becomes a niche use case
