This interview with David Vargas on the Roam42 smart block ecosystem, including RoamJS, highlights how far people are taking the integrations.

I'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!!

Cool post! Really wish you could reference dates in Roam without the year component. Would love to track all my friend's birthdays this way :(

Can anyone recommend other articles like this?
