Over the last week I've been iterating on my SRS practice in @RoamResearch I present to you Rememo - a roam/memo (by @JoseBrowneX) compatible standalone app. It connects to your graph and lets you review your cards without waiting for Roam to load 🙃

It also now shows "best posts" when you visit someone's profile on Bluesky - something I've been missing from Twemex.

If you visit a bluesky post - it'll show you quotes for it in a sidebar, evoking Twemex by @geoffreylitt.com a bit, though would love to get other facets of it for Bsky as-well. Might play with adding something like that later

Prototyped sort of ampie.app version for Bluesky. It shows you bluesky mentions for a given link you're visiting. Definitely gives a feeling of more "connected" web

I've built "subscribe to a Bluesky thread as an RSS feed" - check it out at vlad-blueskythreadtorss.web.val.run Subscribing to updates to specific thread is the functionality I wanted to exist on Twi/X since forever. Delighted on how easy it was to build my own version of it for Bsky!

Building on a backlinks inspiration: when you do reference an idea in a conversation - that should be reflected in your (team's) knowledge base This allows you to build up rich context around the ideas & solve the problem of loosing insight generated in a conversation

Roam Garden tip. It currently doesn't support Roam's `video` command, but you can still embed videos by pasting the embed code youtube/etc will give you into a block And such a block will be rendered as video in the garden

Pharo first impressions There are no math operators, just messages. Which seems consistent, but questionably useful? Also, I wonder why limit binary messages to operator characters if they don't actually get special treatment? 🤔

I've been wondering for a while about building the 3p service to serve as a hub as described in x.com/gordonbrander/status/14313762… In a way Zapier and the like are trying to do this. But they usually have a very limited access to data, don't do 2way sync and are...

App idea: personal micromort tracker (for both acute and chronic risks) as a longevity intervention So you can track & optimize you budget for daily and exceptional activities Kind of similar to @microcovid on checking for activity side but with personalized tracking over time

I've been doing a digital nomad thing for a bit. This is my work setup. It's been doing pretty well so far, though I'm wondering if there is a way for me to obtain more screen space without sacrificing portability/usability would be curious to see other people's portable setup!

Project idea: Group plan coordination service Many phone plans/other services have "group plans" where if you sign up together you can get big savings. It's often hard to find enough interested people among your friends/etc though And with strangers there is a question of trust

Is there any good electronic versions of GEB in existence? All I found are unofficial scans with on OK OCR layer (and conversions of that to epub/etc, which didn't work very well) From what I gather there is no official version, but maybe there are well done unofficial ones?
