Deep Dive into Roam's Data Structure
- blackp1nk 5y agoCool post! Really wish you could reference dates in Roam without the year component. Would love to track all my friend's birthdays this way :(

- jonnydubowsky 5y agoRamses Oudt has a great YouTube channel and blogs/teaches/curates this type of more advanced Roam-related concepts. https://roamstack.com/newsletter-48-what-are-the-building-blocks-of-your-knowledge-stack/ https://roamstack.com/newsletter-48-what-are-the-building-bl... https://roamstack.com/newsletter-46-build-a-personal-learning-stack/ https://roamstack.com/newsletter-46-build-a-personal-learnin... This interview with David Vargas on the Roam42 smart block ecosystem, including RoamJS, highlights how far people are taking the integrations. Version 2 of Smart Blocks is really cool. https://youtu.be/V-a51Y8o0oQ https://youtu.be/V-a51Y8o0oQ
- rektide 5y agoI've heard a lot of enthusiasm for Roam & developers I respect saying other seemingly nearby offerings are just way less capable, interesting. TIL Roam is powered by Datomic. It's been a while since I've researched the Datomic system, but it clicks to much to me, that a way better Personal Information Manager would rest upon & be great by having really good really capable information representation systems underneath. It speaks to what I want to believe, which is that General Systems Research & thinking of how we represent, store, & process data is fertile grounds for exploration. Great to see a bunch of real examples here. Really started giving me a feel for what's got others excited. Thanks!!
