@CypherPunished Yeah

#roamcult, would you be interested in a script that exports Roam to Google docs? (read only, no backlinks)

I use it to share notes at work, without publicizing my graph, or requiring coworkers to use Roam.

Would take work to make it usable for others though.

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

Each Roam page gets one Google Document, and you need access to the Google Docs API

@Mahadikprasad15 @RoamResearch @VladyslavSitalo @AbhayPrasanna Are you opening the new links in the sidebar?

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

@RoamResearch Spatial Graph Sidebar released!

Mind Map by opening links: https://t.co/3iRXcMdDBF

Thank you @VladyslavSitalo for maintaining Roam Toolkit, and @AbhayPrasanna for beta testing!

@RobertHaisfield @RoamResearch @VladyslavSitalo @AbhayPrasanna Then, configure the node handle colors in settings:

@RobertHaisfield @RoamResearch @VladyslavSitalo @AbhayPrasanna Until I make it work out of the box for more themes, here are some tweaks to try:

- Set the background color of nodes: `.roam-toolkit--panel`
- Unset the sidebar container background `right-sidebar`

Here's a modded Cosmonaut for reference: https://t.co/KneKsFthVj

@RobertHaisfield @RoamResearch @VladyslavSitalo @AbhayPrasanna As a workaround until this is fixed, you can try setting "Max Layout Duration" to 1 (if you still want auto-layout)

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

@RobertHaisfield @RoamResearch @VladyslavSitalo @AbhayPrasanna Not possible to manually link/unlink nodes right yet, but definitely something I want too

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

@ymshulman @RoamResearch @VladyslavSitalo @AbhayPrasanna You can disable the auto layout by setting the "Max Layout Duration" to 0

Keyboard shortcuts work with Vim Mode, feels kinda like a tiling window manager

A big update for @RoamResearch Toolkit - Vim-style navigation support

Save and restore layouts!

[Rob Haisfield @RobertHaisfield]

Re the ability to rearrange and resize the cards, zoom in and out, and save configurations, I'm reminded of this thread. I'd like to orient cards by how I want my attention allocated. https://t.co/yw8P9deSQz

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

But the layout algorithm needs to be **stable**. Everytime nodes move, their spatial associations are lost.

This is why ephemeral layouts like https://t.co/2dzsTYhvvN don't actually reduce cognitive load very much

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

Prototype for creating mind maps by following links in Roam

Read in trees, write in graphs

Seems theoretically(?) possible by hacking the sidebar

#roamcult

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

Hypothesis: **Spatially associating** pages allows you to reason about ~2-3x as many.

Ideas that occupy a physical location are easier to remember (mind maps, Method of Loci)

[Dave Lu @daveludavelu]

@codexeditor I was thinking of using the page title as a unique ID (or the first block id for Block Outlines), and hiding duplicates.

Or maybe just allowing the duplicates for v0
