I guess the question to ask is, what is the most natural graph underlying a blog. I think it is the graph of internal references. Here’s the ribbonfarm graph.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2019/03/18/elderblog-sutra-5/ …

The key tension in a blog is between the irreversibility of the log stream in time and the evolving internal reference structure. There is a natural asymmetry as old posts don’t get updated to point to future posts that reference them.

I think codebase evolution on git has a similar natural structure. The “diff” maps to the “post” and “parent version” to “backlink” Maybe pull request = comment?

The blogchain concept is something like an attempt to jury-rig an explicit graph structure as
@tomcritchlow pointed out yesterday, but still with temporality as strictly dominant organizing principle. The basic DAG must be an approximate partial temporal order. Cycles are add-onsShow this thread

FWIW Roam is built on a graph database. Not just block and page structure. Theres a whole engine for user defined attributes and queries we've barely exposed yet.

A perspective of a graph appears as a blog. Things look linear because text is linear, but each line is a link, each link a constellation.

Basically my twitter thread webs, but editable, and without character limits. (Or 1000chars or something.) A bunch of long threads would get condensed into shorter ones https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1071803092331520001?s=21 …https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1071803092331520001 …

Something like Named Entity Recognition plus semantics to allow better understanding of content than tagging/folksonomies provide, especially in terms of discovery of external relationships without additional work.

@doriantaylor has some additional insight on this, if I am reading him correctly.
