The power of community

.\n\nWe have also extended our free trial to 31 days in the meantime, as we work through all the applications. Despite this, we have still managed to become one of the fastest companies in history to reach $1 million in annual recurring revenue. This is evidence that we can build a sustainable business, invest in the future and do right by our amazing community. Rest assured, Roam will be around for a very long time.\n\nIt is tremendously important for us to give back to our users and allow them to share in the success that they've helped us achieve. To that end, we have a couple big announcements in the coming weeks to stay tuned for!\n\nRoam Depot\n\nOur magnificent community members have already made incredible strides in making Roam more beautiful. You can view all the official user-built themes here and we encourage you to donate to these lovely creators for their hard work 😊. A couple themes we are particularly partial to are Maggie Appleton's Leyendecker and Fabrizio Rinaldi's Better Roam Research.\n\n\n\n[https://cwhitesullivan.imgus11.com/public//916c4d45fa3dc27501b1b13ca50760c1.png?r=208842073]\n\n\nBetter Roam Research (dark mode)\n\n\n\n[https://cwhitesullivan.imgus11.com/public//ba7268e527927943a4b9f5180aef4f80.png?r=2041228849]\n\n\nLeyendecker\n\n\n\nWe are so grateful that the collective intelligence of our community is far greater than that of us as a company. And, as a result of this tweet, we have decided that when we launch Roam's plugin ecosystem, where users can buy, sell, and share themes, extensions, and more, it will be called Roam Depot! Users will also be able to create free plugins as we want to continue to support open-source hacking.\n\n\n\n[https://cwhitesullivan.imgus11.com/public//ad41b9d4f1361ead3291a6031bc85b50.png?r=395120346]\n\n\nOne more thing...\n\nWe had our first believer call last Wednesday, with over 150 believers joining the Zoom call! Our CEO, Conor, stayed on the call for two hours, answering questions about Roam's past, present, and future. When he came back over two and half hours later, the conversation was still going strong!\n\nBecause of the passionate interest from believers to have more regular community calls, we have set up Roam Office Hours every Tuesday and Thursday, which you can sign up for here. These will be free community-led Zoom calls where users can ask each other questions, demonstrate their workflows, debate note-taking philosophies, and connect with each other.\n\nYou also never know which Roam team members may show up to take questions or otherwise talk to the community.

\n\nRoam Research Inc, 769 Foerster Street, San Francisco, California 94127, United States\n\n"}">Roam reaches $1 million ARR in less than 6 weeks

Hey Roamans, we are happy to announce that we have now provided several thousand people in financial need with free or discounted access to Roam. If you can't afford Roam, please apply to our Roam Scholars program

.

We have also extended our free trial to 31 days

Roam Depot

It is tremendously important for us to give back to our users and allow them to share in the success that they've helped us achieve. To that end, we have a couple big announcements in the coming weeks to stay tuned for!

in the meantime, as we work through all the applications. Despite this, we have still managed to become one of the fastest companies in history to reach $1 million in annual recurring revenue. This is evidence that we can build a sustainable business, invest in the future and do right by our amazing community. Rest assured, Roam will be around for a very long time.

Our magnificent community members have already made incredible strides in making Roam more beautiful. You can view all the official user-built themes here

We had our first believer call last Wednesday, with over 150 believers joining the Zoom call! Our CEO, Conor, stayed on the call for two hours, answering questions about Roam's past, present, and future. When he came back over two and half hours later, the conversation was still going strong!

One more thing...

[https://cwhitesullivan.imgus11.com/public//ad41b9d4f1361ead3291a6031bc85b50.png?r=395120346]

We are so grateful that the collective intelligence of our community is far greater than that of us as a company. And, as a result of this tweet, we have decided that when we launch Roam's plugin ecosystem, where users can buy, sell, and share themes, extensions, and more, it will be called Roam Depot! Users will also be able to create free plugins as we want to continue to support open-source hacking.

[https://cwhitesullivan.imgus11.com/public//916c4d45fa3dc27501b1b13ca50760c1.png?r=208842073]

and we encourage you to donate to these lovely creators for their hard work 😊. A couple themes we are particularly partial to are Maggie Appleton's Leyendecker and Fabrizio Rinaldi's Better Roam Research.

Because of the passionate interest from believers to have more regular community calls, we have set up Roam Office Hours every Tuesday and Thursday, which you can sign up for here

That's all for now folks!

You also never know which Roam team members may show up to take questions or otherwise talk to the community. On the last believer call, the last remaining users got to hang virtually with our head of operations, Victoria, and our ever-elusive CTO, Josh.

. These will be free community-led Zoom calls where users can ask each other questions, demonstrate their workflows, debate note-taking philosophies, and connect with each other.

[[Roam API]] #Update

Since we don't want to go public, the government is making us jump through a lot of hoops to make equity available to those aren't accredited investors. So stay tuned as we jump through those hoops for you!

Since our last update, veryone's been asking whether or not they can invest in Roam! We are currently preparing the paperwork, via WeFunder, and we'll be giving first dibs to Believers. We want everyone in the broader community to also have the chance to invest.

[[Crowdfunding]] #Update

Check your updates! We've got a new QoL improvement. The open/close state of blocks is no longer shared across embeds and the sidebar. So if you want to drill down into your blocks inside your embeds or in the sidebar, you won't have to worry about affecting the way they're displayed on the main page and vice versa.

OH MA GAWD, we did it, we added a drawing component! You can pull it up with the inline / menu. Go wild with your imagination and draw straight into Roam. You can even embed your drawings inside diagrams as shown above! Can't wait to see what y'all cook up.

These toggles have been added a new User Settings modal that you can access through the ... menu in the top right of the screen.

We've also heeded the calls to centralize some of the more advanced keyboard shortcuts into a place where you can easily toggle them and see how they work!

[https://cwhitesullivan.imgus11.com/public//3b892c32a17df7cd391dc4920c1ffadb.gif?r=1307967470]

We believe this to be a small but significant step towards a better multiplayer experience!

Open and close state is also now local to the user who authored the blocks and any changes you make to other users' authored blocks open and close state will remain local to your session.

We've decoupled the open and close state of your blocks inside embeds and the sidebar so you can have multiple views of the same blocks without affecting how they look on the main page.

There's been much excitement in the last week in the Roam community, a large part of which has been surrounding the new update to Dharam Kapila's immensely potent Roam Portal Chrome Extension

, which now has both 2D and 3D interactive graphs so you can see how your pages connect in space and time. It's really cool, I promise!

Cortex Futura has also just dropped a great piece on how to use Roam as a keystone habit—a habit that makes adding other habits easier—to implement a new reading habit. And while we're on the topic of reading, software engineer and writer, Zakk Fleischmann, has written an excellent guide on how to implement the famous Zettelkasten method in Roam

[[Student Onboarding]]

.

We are running a special edition of our onboarding webinar series this Friday at 18:30 EST, hosted by none other than Violeta Kristof

!

Her kids, who run a Roam Research Tutorials YouTube channel

Come learn how to get started and quickly leverage the power of networked thought for learning and studying, journaling, or personal development.

We know how much y'all love to paste documents into Roam so we've made a small but important improvement to the experience. Now, if you paste in text with headers, the text beneath gets indented properly so you retain the semantic structure of the document in Roam format! Check out the GIF below showing how it works when pasting from Google Docs.

Pasting improvement

We made some big changes to how we display which user most recently edited a block. Previously, with edit icons turned on, we would display the user's profile image or a Bill Murray icon next to the bullet. Now the bullet changes color based on a hash of the user's email. And when you hover over the bullet, you will not only see the last user who edited the block's name and the day of the edit, but you also get a to-the-second timestamp for when the edit happened.

You asked, so we delivered. Blockquotes are finally here, and so are horizontal rules! To make a blockquote just start it with >, or [[>]] if you want to keep track of all the links to your quotes.

A new way of using double parentheses in Roam! For asides, tangents, or any other text you want to be optionally displayed, we've introduced Parentheticals to expand and collapse text within a block. You can make one by starting to type (( without converting into a block reference: i.e., don't choose existing block nor create as block below. You can close a parenthetical by clicking on either parentheses, and you can expand them by clicking on the astrolabe.

The spirit of the games is to build upon others' work and ideas and cite your inspirations, so for the third challenge we want you to show us how we can manage a dependency graph of ideas and influence—preferably one using [[roam/js]] and [[roam/inter]].\n\nWe will be announcing the winners of the second #RoamGames challenge very soon, and you've still got a week left to submit for the third challenge mentioned above. If you submit late, that is okay as well, when winners of the subsequent challenges cite you, you can win as well!\n\n\n\n[[roam/js]]\nWe want to thank our developers who have built some mind-blowing extensions over the past several months. This week, we want to highlight two extensions in particular that have us salivating. For the memory junkies out there, Adam Křivka has launched a new version of his roam/sr extension, allowing you to do immensely powerful spaced repetition within Roam. And for our #roamcult tweeters, David Vargas has blessed us again, this time with a way to send tweets directly from Roam, including an ingenious way of tweeting threads.\n\n\n\nAnd if you're wondering where new features and quality of life improvements are, they've been on hold as we work to fix bugs and make Roam more stable! Check out the change log to keep up to date with the latest changes, we've got some great new stuff coming out this week.\n\nWith love,\nThe Roam Team\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSent to: azichettello@gmail.com\n\nUnsubscribe

They're going to explore how to use block and page references to maximize discoverability and generate insights. Learn more at roamsummit.com.\n\nCrash Course with Ali Abdaal\nThere is also an amazing crash course for complete beginners hosted by @AliAbdaal and @MarcKoenig_ this weekend where they'll teach you how to use Roam in just 2 hours. It's only $100 and all proceeds are being donated to charity. Plus if you complete the course, you get $100 off the Believer plan. You can sign up here!\n\nSlack Archive\nRoam Slack has been a revelation, rich with knowledge about workflows, features, extensions, and more. But the massive success of this space has been hamstrung by message limits, leading to unwanted ephemerality. After deliberations with the community to decide on our future home, we came up with a novel solution to keep us on Slack.\n\nThanks to the hard work and dedication of Abhay, Murf, and Dharam we now have two graphs archiving all the amazing stuff our community has been jamming about in Slack. The roam-slack graph will have curated posts and is publicly viewable, and the slack-export graph has the full history—to access it, please submit this form.\n\n\n\n#RoamGames\nCongrats to the winners of the 2nd #RoamGames! In first place, we have @RobertHaisfield and @wandcrafting winning $4k for intuitive introductions to indentation. In second, @maskys_ , @OlliTiainen, and @samuelbars winning $2k for Roam Glowup. And in third, @brgodefroy winning $1k for roamsanity.com!\n\nWe've received a few great submissions for the 3rd #RoamGames where we want you to show us how we can manage a dependency graph of ideas and influence.
