Hmm... I've reached a point of complexity, where it's actually helpful to create what I called a Dramatis Memetae. Something between an index and a glossary, but with a bit of structure to it.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1189782933831180288?s=21 …

Yikes, the current view of my graph looks suspciously like a yak. I might have to shave this thing. So far this is a view of a single project. I wonder if I put more disconnected projects in if it will start looking like a zoo.

Alright, spent nearly 6 productive hours digesting 70% of email notes and 30% scrivener notes from multitemporallty into Roam, and found it improved greatly in the process. Still a condition of Chaos > Order, but Order is now winning.

To do: * Rest of email and scrivener * ~100 twitter bookmarks * ~50 index cards * ~50 iPhone photos of book pages * ~12 scapple mind maps * ~ half a moleskine equivalent paper notes * ~1 moleskine equivalent iPad pencil notes My second brain clearly has mad cow disease

This feels right because processing into Roam feels like progress against entropy, not merely porting from one unsatisfactory tool to another. Moving the ball forward rather than sideways. I’m gaining authoritah.pic.twitter.com/pRilIlYB55

Tentatively, I think this deserves hype it’s getting. If they solve intake, it will be a genuine paradigm shift. They’ve managed to actually do what we tried valiantly to do with trailmeme at xerox a decade ago. I can spot all the things they’ve done right that we got wrong.

Still wrapping my head around transclusion as a working concept rather than vaporware ideal. It’s not been really necessary so far though I’ve done a few to get a feel for it. I suspect doing a second compression pass after this discovery/intake pass could be transclusion-heavy

The fact that I put in 6h of work despite intake automation being basically non-existent and high-friction suggests that once even a few basics are in place there (email-to-db would be my most used, followed by something to grab tweets easily) this could really take off.

I guess I leapfrogged past Notion, and there were a couple of other tools I started using like http://paper.supply but in view of this, I don’t think others hit the right mix. Hey

Your tool would actually make a great little input tool for Roam I think
