👋 I'm Vlad Sitalo - the creator of Roam Garden.

These days I spend most of my time and thinking about how to apply my tech skills to get better at dancing. I'm also interested in fostering a community focused on systematically thinking about dance together.

Other big ares of interest for me include and .

See for an occasionally updated list of things I'm currently focusing on.

Some starting points for exploration of the garden:

What makes code readable? Can we define that objectively?

How do computational and design lenses mix?

How to find your path in the garden

Here's how navigation works:

What to look at

Follow some links above, take a look at graph, use a search bar if you are wondering if I wrote about some specific topic.

You can use page's backlinks section as an index - every page in the garden has a link to it.

If you want to talk to me - you can do that via one of the following:

Bluesky

Twitter

GitHub

ABC : Are you still friends with XYZ You : No. We fell out of touch when we started different colleges; I went to <some place> and he went <somewhere else>. Facebook is where we mainly keep in touch. I heard he got married recently.

misc

SmartBlock with JS (double escaping of `) https://github.com/roam-garden/i/issues/42

<%J: ```javascript let reg_parent_string = new RegExp('```clojure\s(.+)```','s'); ```%>

js template inside

<%JAVASCRIPTASYNC: ```javascript return await fetch('https://shakespeare-quote.glitch.me/') .then(res => res.json()) .then(data => { return `${data.quote} — [[${data.play}]]` }) ```%>

{{}} in valid jsx when things are undefined things may get problematic =. Should onee always escape it?

<h3>${something.else}</h3>

a lot of crossed out symbols?
