Ah nice how do you publish a public roam?

Make it publicly viewable or publicly editable then share link, for now

I’m unclear on how this works. Does ‘page permissions’ refer just to that page? Is the database all my pages or just one?

Page permissions turns on shareable individual pages, will probably just make that default this week

If you make publicly viewable or editable from the "share" option it is for whole db (all pages) if you do share page it's just that page. Need to clarify the UI

Honestly I think the clarity you need comes from having two separate modals:
(could even re-use the actual modal code, the point is for the user to not feel confused about what they're doing)

Have a setting for blog mode vs notes mode
The daily note is an example of this modal schizophrenia. Dated daily entries are a good default prompt for blog mode. But for notes something like a single Inbox note will do.

I think that the daily notes feature, while not fully well-developed atm (eg you can't see a week at a glance or search of "mentions of the term 'slacking' on a monday") is actually valuable for providing a basic scaffold for dumping stray thoughts without needing to process them

Inbox implies needing to touch again. Not sure if that's how you mean it, but it's implied by GTD & the skeuomorphism.
Roam daily notes ~= journal, where you might have specific topic journals, but if you don't know where to start you just:
- open
- date the page
- start writing

Yeah I get that. It’s an awkward fit for me in a notes context. That’s something I’d do on a blog or actual journal. Here what I need is an unmarked intake hopper. Things either become their own page eventually or get tossed. So yeah inbox zero aesthetic.

Basically time is a naturally monopolistic organizing variable. Either everything is organized by time or nothing is.
