Recently have been diving deep into getting good at West Coast Swing/Modern Swing 🕺. Building modernswing.forum I love hacking ⌨ and I'm fascinated by Tools for thought 🧰 vlad.roam.garden

I'm curious how learning a language made it on the list. I was doing that a bit recently, but it felt a bit pointless given the state/quality of automated translation.

Do people do this/what's your setup? (I'm vaguely aware of the Mac mini OpenClaw meme, but I'm not particularly interested in running local models, so doesn't seem like the best fit?)

I keep thinking about having a server where I'd run ai coding agents. Why: always on for recurring tasks (that would use my discount tokens 🙃) + I can send messages to them from my phone + better isolation vs running things directly on my laptop (but still some scoped access)

Hence Rememo - loads fast & allows you to sneak in reviews on the go

Vlad Sitalo @vlad.sitalo.org · 07/03/2026
But for actually memory oriented cards that don't have a reason to be on a specific day page it's less of a fit. So I've been experimenting with migrating those to roam/memo. But the fact that Roam takes forever to load is a big point of friction for doing incremental practice.

I've historically used daily-page oriented SRS approach, I've implemented in roam-toolkit, but over time I've become more overwhelmed with the amount of things showing up on the daily page. I still use and endorse this approach for #Programmableattention items.

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 🙃

The fragment URLs are not readable as a quote by themselves though. I've previously built an extension to render them on hover, which might work in the context of the users of this extension github.com/transclude-m...

So you can link to a fragment as in example above, and even though the url is actually longer then 300 characters it's counted as 40 chars?

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W.... Not a fully formed proposal, but I think there is something interesting around the fragment links (which allow you to link to a specific part of the doc/quote) and the fact that URLs in bluesky don't consume the full character limit.

Yeah, it went back to working after a few days! And excited to see more about your extension 🙂

The clipboard manager I use allows me to block list apps (e.g. password manager). Which ends up being an okay 80/20 approach

Authenticated requests still work, I guess they might have disabled unauthenticated requests to the search 🤔

Vlad Sitalo @vlad.sitalo.org · 23/01/2025
This is currently broken bc search API started returning 403 for me (e.g. public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsk...) Will see if there is a workaround in a bit!

Ohh, Automerge gets document level access controls and a new sync engine soon. Exciting!

A plausible alternative is having automerge-repo manage documents/synchronization/etc, but also have a read-mirror DB replica on each of the clients for quereing purposes 🤔

This PowerSync demo github.com/powersync-ja/powersync-j… does a similar thing with Yjs.

I think legacy Electrict SQL was kind of doing all the things, but as they are in the middle of rewrite rn and it's unclear if having all the things here is even on the roadmap for the new version.

Specific use-case I'm playing with is roam-like outliner hierarchical structure with each block being a document/linking to each other/having properties/etc. And I want to run queries based on properties/relationships/etc.
100
Vlad Sitalo @vlad.sitalo.org · 11/01/2025
Are there any established good practices/standard advice on mixing Automerge (or CRDTs more generally) and complex querying (e.g. having documents in something like sqlite/pglite and running queries based on their content and relationship/etc)

@elvedin.officialawesome.com actually, in the spirit in which this has beend developed so far, fixed it through brute force 😛. (updated the userscript at the link) Might make it better later though

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

It'd be cool of more people migrate their content. Even though the process is not perfect - probably half of my tweets didn't make it bc they were replies or smth (I think ideally those get imported in some fashion too) And ofc all the like/quote metadata is missing

Using the sidebar bsky.app/profile/vlad... I stumbled on the mention of @en.blueark.app and migrated my historical tweets to Bluesky. In turn making the sidebar more useful (as it has access to more context now)

@briancloutier.com - I plausibly want different feeds for different time-scales (e.g. a week/month). - Curious how reposts/quotes of the posts with links count here?

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

This looks epic! From the video seems like this could use a keyboard shortcut for "go to previous version/undo" as at that speed that stood out like a meaningful amount of friction to click that 😛
