I think my core thesis (Visa's Bricks Idea) is that the graph paper format of presenting information is undervalued, underrated, underappreciated https://t.co/2aIAW4DU6J
if you could mouseover each box and have it display information, this is basically the densest way to display the most amount of info in a 2d space I want something that's in between twitter threads, tweetgraph (@ollybot_redux's webapp, on the right) and a roam graph view https://t.co/ph7dOQj4bv
once you keep an eye out for this you start to see the wisdom in it https://t.co/y3BDHHLiCd
I wish my paper notebook squares had magical hypertext metadata https://t.co/42YbL2ppjX
doesn't actually have to contain the universe, I just actually need about a tweet's length worth of characters in it, and hyperlinks https://t.co/0QGjgPNIvL
if you have too much information per card that becomes a little useless, too. this is about the right amount of info for a card... which is basically a 280char tweet. allow linking to tweets and to Roam pages and 🔥🔥🔥 no fancy embedding etc necessary, just plaintext links https://t.co/XY2kh2WbqO
consider the sheer amount of information presented on /r/place – 4000x4000 pixels, each with a history https://t.co/RI0gRN1p1J
the full evolution of /r/place, an important piece of internet (and really, human) history https://t.co/fGHwNJBKdi
The Million Dollar Homepage: In 2005 Alex Tew sold pixels on a website with a 1000x1000 pixel grid for $1/pixel, which made him $1M. While garish, I love the user experience of mousing over the pixels (about 40% of the links now suffer from link rot) https://t.co/sYRcf8oimu https://t.co/mBc2LCH8OU
I am similarly working on a project (@1000wordvomits) to write 1,000,000 words in 1,000 essays of 1,000 words each and as of right now I'm still stuck with these interfaces that require So Much Scrolling!! I don't want to scroll, I want to explore https://t.co/5NfnGe35Zb
why can't my blog or twitter look like this instead? maybe not as THE primary interface, but as a secondary view? https://t.co/aLjDAOk1Vo

@visakanv thank you for sharing it, the Place is great! also I've found its annotated atlas: https://t.co/gBHHsY4Lry
@visakanv @DharamKapila Visa - you've got to try Roam Portal on your DB. https://t.co/qhyiA3vnntHere's an example of the graph-view on your public one.https://t.co/bT4jesp07L
