    - R > yeah
  - old syntax

- R > roam doesn't handle sequential lists well
  - M > totally, that's a huge issue
  - R > yeah, if I wanted that. to be queryable, I'd have to keep indenting all the replies
    - which just isn't how conversations work
      - (M > I assume he means chat-structure)
- quoting someone quoting someone
  - M > R > there's gonna be a "before Jump" and "after Jump"
  - M > R > roam doesn't handle sequential lists well
  - R > in remnote, it would be like this:
    - R >
      - utterance
    - then you'd just blockref the utterance and it would show up as
      - M > R > [utterance]
  - M > you could literally render this block as
    - R > like a blockquote but it shows the name along the side of it
    - M > I'm not saying this is actually good, but something like it could be
  - M > if I'm taking notes on a convo
    - then this is still me talking
    - and so is this
      - and this is too
    - but if I'm taking notes on a source material (not in a conversation)
      - then currently how I do it is
      - well, I don't actually use the E > syntax
      - I just use block quotes
      - and I just do
        > quote from source
        my commentary on quote
      - so that would need to change
        so it would need to be something more like
        E > quote from source
        M > thoughts:
        asdfasdf
        asdf
        asdf
        ...which is kind of annoying
        there are times it'd be nice to do
        E > quote from source
        more quote from source
        more
        (and then it's collapsible etc)
      - sometimes I do this
        X >
        > blockquote
        ...but this would still kinda want to be an X utterance
      - ...idk how to solve that
        different syntax for external source vs convo-note-source??
- M > lots of design decisions here
  - R > could be valuable to just write out loud about what the decisions are

Designing a better browser\workflow for Twitter & more

GTD is kind of pointing at the thing but I don't think it adequately exists yet, and it could be WAAAY more of a game. Maybe this could be part of Memex\WorldBrain? Should talk with Rob Haisfield about it.
