I feel morally obliged to point out:
@jacobcole4000 showed me this 2016 demo (pre-roam) which I think was innovated by @biject + @antimatter15. It changed my life.

@Conaw has done a great job executing, many original ideas.

Important to praise OG's. https://twitter.com/andy_matuschak/status/1283091388209324035

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=s0JGfIYcEGw&feature=emb_logo -- this demo is the source of (what I see as) the most important elements & UI of Roam (and many platforms like it).

They deserve an insane amount of credit for innovating the paradigm.

Today, @antimatter15 + @biject still have https://hypernote.io 

This power-combo pair are, hands down, the most innovative, impressive, and inspiring project hackers I've seen demos by.

One should use @RoamResearch, I think it's currently best in class & I think @Conaw is great. I wish it was open source, but/and @AthensResearch exists and @Conaw has a great spirit about it. I respect him.

Also, I believe history books should showcase those who paved the way.

Ill be first to admit that both @mc2 and @jacobCole4000 were enormous inspirations which encouraged me in to create https://graph.global  (open source) in 2015: https://github.com/w2g/graph.global/commits?author=mekarpeles
