Features about roam-toolkit

[Stvad]

the functionality that I think we can have by integrating all the things we have right now:

• @houshuang extracting roam compatible data from twitter/hypothesis
  • hopefully this will make it easier for other people to build similar integrations. + eventually when API is there this can ingest things directly to roam
  • also maybe we can have it authenticate with twitter properly. right now process is scary
• fuzzyDate stuff from myself. need to come up with a good trigger for this one though (probably can replicate the experience that @houshuang has created with Keyboard maestro

[Stvad]

Roam snippets collection can be another one (books/persons/tasks/etc)

[PiotrSss]

"Remnote.io has this nice idea of adding blocks by simply clicking above / under existing blocks (with "ghost" bullet on hover), would be cool to have this solution in Roam - it's easier to start writing when one switch between pages. And it doesn't look like a huge technical difficulty, simply a clickable div that generates new block on click."

[houshuang]

@Stvad How are you imagining integrating content ingestion from Twitter or other places? First requirement would be that people would have to get token and enter into settings (unfortunately). Only public Hypothes.is doesn't require that. Also not sure of workflow - you need to both select a Tweet etc on the Twitter page, but then presumably you need to be on the Roam page to insert the data?

[Stvad]

@houshuang presumably we can do OAuth, which would greatly simplify credentials UX

I'd be happy with the "copy in roam format" functionality as a starting point (similar to what you have atm).
But if we want to - I imagine we can open/activate the Roam tab and insert things as a last bullet using things from #13

[houshuang]

If we can open/activate Roam and add as last bullet, we could start by building a web clipper, that would be easier. (Although the ideal case would of course be not having to switch tabs to Roam all the time, while you're clipping. But that might be impossible until we get API).

yeah, I don't think it's possible until api exists.

for the clipper - I was wondering if we can steal some opensource clipper functionality, I suspect there should be some extensions to that effect

[Stvad]

https://github.com/laurent22/joplin seems like one option

[Stvad]

or https://github.com/OneNoteDev/WebClipper

[Stvad]

https://github.com/webclipper/web-clipper seems to try to be "web clipper for everything" so maybe can just add support there

[houshuang]

Tried it with Notion, amazing stuff - if we could have this with Roam, it would be fantastic. However, it relies on Notion's web API, so until Roam has one, I'm not sure... Conor mentioned he would try to get us a very simple API to just add a new page before they have all the back-end stuff figured out, but no idea when that might come.

[Stvad]

Automatically generating various queries can be a useful feature.
Things like "next week overview" (or of dates), "all things in this block", or even "aliases for this page" if we can figure it out

[Stvad]

generate srs Cloze deletion with {{or: __|response}} - from https://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1227387001680220160?s=20

[Stvad]

features around work estimates/completion times. Don't have this fully developed in my mind yet, but I have the property that estimates task completion times. So it'd be nice to:

• for given query - sum up all the estimates
• have functionality from estimate and the final time spent to compute how wrong were you on this estimation/record it as a property

[Stvad]

clipper functionality for goodreads. - for given book copy your data for it in Roam format.
(name, author, tags, review, etc)

[Stvad]

For srs I have been wondering - we can actually implement the proper SuperMemo algorithm and not just lietner box kind of system. Would it make sense to do so?

[Stvad]

https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#what-spaced-repetition-algorithm-does-anki-use a basic implementation of the Anki one should be straightforward

[Stvad]

gonna move new comments on the topic to #1

[PiotrSss]

Should be possible? https://www.notion.so/Paste-URL-over-text-to-link-c79e3b2b74854ab08e2222aaea74d69d

[Stvad]

gonna close this & gradually transfer out things to separate issues.
