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)https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1200097087746011136 …

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

My approach to these problems has been finding ways to make the graph more explorable without making it look like a graph. Readers are even less interested in looking at or clicking on graphs than they are in reading blogs.

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.
