YouGlish is a service for English language learners to search usage of words/phrases on YouTube. SmartBlock Builder guru @gijigae has built a SmartBlock to search YouGlish's with a page title as a default input and embeds the search result. #roamculthttps://t.co/TYdv5OWJrt pic.twitter.com/hK6hfdziVE

Under the hood, it leverages Next.js image optimization, Next.js pre-rendering, and the @Vercel edge network.

I'm building an extension that makes Twitter a better memex:

⭐️ Highlights: see someone's best tweets, not just most recent

🔍 Search: find tweets to quote, w/ shortcuts for useful filters

Hi #roamcult! How efficient is your workflow for keeping on top of all your meeting notes, action items, contacts, projects and more?

Here's My GTD - How I Organize Meetings and TODOs in Roam. (supported by ✨SmartBlocks✨ thank to @roamhacker!)

So today @dvargas92495 brought up a really good question. Many are using SmartBlocks to not just build workflows for daily activities, but some are building very complex SmartBlocks with the JavaScript (connections to YouTube, GDrive, poetry and Shakespeare API's - wild stuff)

Recurring blocks / events / tasks / reminders

Turns out if you connect a ClojureScript REPL to @RoamResearch, you end up with a live programming environment for modifying and extending Roam. Neat! pic.twitter.com/RSpaCPY0Iq

Recurring Task in Roam

Here is what this looks like in practice. In this video I create a 12 week plan for my Friday's weekly review using Roam42 SmartBlocks. RTD is one step closer to a reality.#RTD #RoamToDone #roamculthttps://t.co/RxG7e0YTww

Another new feature from this weekend - If you put text inside ((double parentheses like this)) and do NOT extract the text into another block - you'll get ability to nest content inline - hidden behind a Roam Glyphhttps://t.co/56INTQMyWb

I'm writing a case study of my in progress work on the onboarding for GuidedTrack, which I'll be publishing on my digital garden https://t.co/0AHRz69qXz. It's hypertext and spans multiple pages, and @obsdmd's graph view is incredibly helpful for managing pages before I publish! pic.twitter.com/4aHtMsifSz

Haha yup same here. We are all seeking a better more improved collective understanding of our world via curated content that helps cut through the noise. Basically... shooting for increasing signal to noise ratio.

And here's the tour! Thanks @beauhaan for showing everyone a creative and effective way to use block references to power your Zettelkasten. Your approach enables rapid navigation b/w thoughts, demonstrating @RoamResearch's tools in a way that surprised me https://t.co/gTUiSD1qtb

— Robert Haisfield 🤔️🔎🤯🔁 (@RobertHaisfield) December 14, 2020

Yes! Thank you so much for adding this in. Was loving @CatoMinor3 's block styling JS hack but this makes it much easier.

Works so well for book notes where you're switching between author claims, responses, questions, and evidence

Designing block grids also very intriguing pic.twitter.com/iuKGSDMt8d

📝3 tips to up your note-taking game:

1) Avoid transcribing. Put it in your own words!

2) Take advantage of images and figures. Take screen shots and paste them directly into your notes.

3) Use RemNote's references to connect your present and past ideas for better learning

Improved Page Embeds in @RoamResearch

Same as block embeds, but with page titles {{embed: [[like this]]}}

Use / command if you forget the syntax pic.twitter.com/cLXW501DjB

Happy Hannukah @mattgoldenberg!

I know you've been wanting better page embeds in @RoamResearch for over a year.

Finally got around to making something in that area that isn't completely terrible.
