How would you reimagine blogs around graph databases as the foundation? (Roam, Notion, Gatsby all seem to have blog like functionality in their sights but it feels like a stepchild use case relative to their core use cases of notes, wikis, collaboration, static pages)

Is there some sort of information architecture renaissance going on around graph databases? 7y ago when I did a Big Data gig they seemed to be just one among many paradigm challenges to relational databases. Now I hear about them all over the place. What changed?

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 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-ons

Datomic solved a bunch of these problems conceptually -- both a graph database and an event log. Nothing is deleted, just facts added, so can always ask questions "as of" a point in history.
