Divinations on why Roam spread: a learning curve that doubles as a signal.

Why it was kept

Kyle’s one note from the piece: there’s a learning curve not only to using Roam but to understanding why you’d want to — and getting over that hump shows people how smart you are, so naturally they tweet about it. He read it on May 1st, 2020 as part of a day spent ingesting Roam material.

    • There’s a learning curve not just to use the thing, but to even understand why you might want to use the thing. If you can get over that hump, it shows people how smart you are. So naturally people like to tweet about it.
