Ok I have my first feature request... email-based page creation. And some way to capture tweets and tweet threads in 1 step as pages.

My dangerous working theory is that if I dump all my unintegrated fragmentary thoughts, discovery notes, and links for book project into Roam, when I work on the chapters of the book, I can search this set of notes or wander the graph to collect up what I need for JIT compilation

So I can confirm one thing: the tool does encourage you to frictionlessly capture latent connections explicitly. I'm not seeing "new" connections as such, but finding it much easier to capture ones I've already seen cleanly.

Another thing it is forcing me to do is clean up my foundational definitions to avoid creating redundant pages that will create merge-work later. The merge feature is a powerful forcing function.

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 makes me feel incredibly seen. Do you try to resist the impulse to switch between iPad pencil and paper? I keep trying to introduce iPad notes to my workflow and it's getting a bit out of hand.

It's deeply fucked up how often I think about this four word tweet of yours. It changed something quite fundamental about how I do research
