In other news, I've been completely nerdsniped by thanks to
It's all the basic Notion type stuff... tasks, kanbans, wikis, a neat roadmapping+cycle management tool... but with a gently opinionated blockchain-aware sensibility

I never really got into Notion after some brief tire-kicking, but this has basic feature parity I think, and adds the blockchainy goodness that makes that whole paradigm worthwhile... I think this is the natural way to do it, and if Notion doesn't go Web3, it will lose

Ie, Clarity type competitors are an existential threat because they are blockchain native. It's like EVs vs. Prius-style hybrids.
I never seriously considered Notion as an alternative to but this means for Roam as well, it's go Web3 or die.

All of bleeding-edge Web2.99 graph database based things (Roam, Gatsby, Notion...) are headed directly into a genuine Thucydides trap here. Adding blockchain is so natural, and so improves the experience of these things, incumbents either do it, or let an upstart take over.

But only the bleeding edge (I've somewhat arbitrarily put the cutoff at graph db) face this. Older stuff is just too awkward. For eg. the unlock-protocol model of Web3ifying Wordpress simply doesn't work for me. It uses tokens to... create traditional WordPress accounts.

That's a frankenstein solution. You really have to rethink basic architecture from a tokens-are-first-class-citizens and wallets-are-identities perspective. I think WordPress is dead in the water, ripe for the first halfway competent Web3 native CMS to take down.

Interesting take. I’m a heavy user of Notion and Roam and haven’t found myself thinking they need to adopt blockchain to stay relevant (to me at least). Can you elaborate? What specific problems do you see with Notion that blockchain could uniquely address? Same with roam?
