NEW ROAMJS EXTENSIONS - SMARTBLOCKS!

This is the official launch of SmartBlocks V2! After 11 weeks of development, it is ready for the general public's use.

For a basic introduction to SmartBlocks, check out our docs (roamjs.com/extensions/sma…) or the video below 👇

1/
Trigger any SmartBlock workflow by entering the trigger sequence into a block, 'xx'. You could customize this sequence by heading to your roam/js/smartblocks page.

roamjs.com/extensions/sma…

2/
Workflows are made up of a name and a set of blocks that define the workflow. These blocks could contain special logic known as Commands

From outputting relative dates to querying your graph & importing third party data, these special commands add the "Smart" in SmartBlocks

A word of advice #Roamans. One of the great virtues of @RoamResearch is its flexibility and efficiency in capturing the chaos of life. Yet one of its largest hinderances to its success as a tool is its users’ behavior. There are several ways that we might better manage our graph.
One such way is to avoid page ref clutter. Two strategies. First, if you use templates (particularly daily), and you don’t end up capturing anything under a page ref - **delete it** - it will only clutter your graph, query results, and contribute to page bloat.
Similarly, if you use {{queries}} on your daily page - **delete** them as a shut-down routine. They are pointless beyond the day at which you use them. Or, as I have done, create a dashboard page containing the desired queries and use #roam42 SmartBlocks to dynamically update.

1/5 If you use LIVE PREVIEW or DAILY NOTES POPUP feature of Roam42, you will want to read this thread. I am making an important change to the Roam42 behavior. These features will be DISABLED by default. So if you want to use them, you just need to turn them on. #roamcult #roam42
2/5 To enable DAILY NOTES POPUP, simply add the following text to a block anywhere in your graph database and refresh the browser:

#42Setting DailyNotePopup on

3/5 If you use LIVE PREVIEW feature of Roam42, just add the following text to any block in your graph database to enable the feature and refresh your browser:

#42Setting LivePreview on

1/ Roam backup terminologies & strategies. Recently in the Slack channels a discussion was started about backup. When you do an Export you have 3 options. Markdown, JSON and EDN. These terms can be confusing.

I want to provide an opinionated view & some basic guidance. #roamcult
2/ my basic strategy is to export in EDN & Markdown. These two formats give me (1) ability to fully restore my graph & (2) to restore the text of individual pages.

JSON is JavaScript Object Notation and mostly is intended for programmers & isn't as useful for a backup strategy.
3/ EDN (from the developer documentation) is Extensible Data Notation. A superset of edn is used by Clojure to represent programs, and it is used by Datomic and other applications as a data transfer format.

Nerdy! Yawn!

Growing list of #roamrequests, tricks, shortcuts, extensions, features I want to see in @RoamResearch #roamcult :

1/ iOS App (esp. iPadOS support). Offline graph support, manual sync, little conflicts with the graph open on other devices at the same time
2/ Expansion of path tool. The move block campaign shall live on

Basically, CTRL+SHIFT+9 expanding to more beyond 'past blockref of selected block here'

#RoamCult if you ever thought Roam could not be used for a Weekly Review GTD style, it just requires Roamafying the workflow. Most data is removed or collapsed for privacy. Though #roam42 (@roamhacker) SmartBlocks are required. Doing this manually every week would be too much
This was just me finalizing from my old Weekly Review model:
Thanks @Conaw . Truly a tool that CAN do anything you want it to within the specific affordances and constraints.

I haven’t said this yet, but @RoamHacker, #roam42 [[SmartBlocks]] are the first step in a lot of what we have been talking about for months - a true [[central source of truth]] data repository in @RoamResearch which to link all our PKM arenas.
When the API comes out, I expect great things from you 😁. I know you do this for the love of it. Respect. But you are also changing peoples lives in subtle ways. I have spent the last decade teaching people to “learn how to learn”.
To encourage the unknowing, the unwilling, and the passionate to find themselves and discover joy in thinking. We all have our [[calling]]. You have allowed me to better engage in my own work - engage in my own thinking - and frankly being a better human.
