State of Org-roam v2 support

[jethrokuan]

Before I release Org-roam v2, I'd like at least basic compatibility with org-roam-server. Ideally, both packages should upgrade at the same time so MELPA upgrades aren't catastrophic. When org-roam-server is ready, I can coordinate the upgrades of the "officially-supported" extensions to v2.

Hey,

I am not sure. It looks more complicated than I expected. Everything has been changed. It seems everything is done with node instead of file and a lot of functions I used are now depracted. I am really busy with masters, job, research, other projects etc. It is really awesome that you can still keep up!! Last year, I was devoting my free time to this project but this year I want to keep it to myself :)

Currently, I think org-roam-server works pretty well for org-roam v1 without any issues and most of the Issues are feature requests.

If anyone wants to migrate org-roam-server to v2 that knows how org-roam v2 works that would be awesome.

@goktug97 I just saw this message, and I just want to say that I empathize. I am amazed by what you, @jethrokuan and others do for a large community of users. As a person who values (and has benefited from) what org-roam-server and org-roam provide to my workflow, I want to say that I completely understand your situation and wish you best in your prioritization of your research and education. Good luck!

@goktug97 Gotcha. I totally understand, thanks for all the effort you've put in on this project. Since this is one of the more popular extensions, I'll personally perform the migration of this project, but only after v2 is actually merged into master, so there will be a period of time where org-roam-server won't be functional. I took a brief look at what needs to be done, and there's really quite a bit. I might also have to strip things down, like I did with Org-roam itself.

All the best :)

Thank you, @jethrokuan. Truly, above and beyond!

[goktug97]

Awesome! This was my first project with Javascript or web design in general and I had 0 experience with Javascript. I just had this idea and wanted to implement it, so the code is a little bit mess. There is a lot of room for improvement. Good luck!

I've been using Org Roam v2 for some weeks, but I've never used v1 and, therefore, org-roam-server.

Even before discovering org-roam-server, I had an idea that "I should totally draw a graph of my nodes". That's how I ended up here, also having read the whole thread and studied the code.

I wanted to contribute, but apparently, I'm a very bad Elisp hacker. I can understand most of the code, but trying to write something on my own feels like when you try to draw on paper for the first time in your life: fun but ugly.

However, I have 7 years of experience with Web. I've built and scaled numerous apps, and I feel very confident at working with Next.js, Typescript, etc. I also work with HTTP servers and SQL queries every day.

I've been thinking about building my own version of org-roam-server that's Typescript-heavy and Elisp-light (due to my incompetence) and eventually sharing it with the folks. It would only support v2.

Do you guys have any thoughts? Are there reasons to not do it? Or maybe I could use my strong side elsewhere with greater leverage?

If anyone feels like it makes sense, I'd be happy to pair up with somebody who'd do the Emacs side of things.

And @jethrokuan @goktug97 thank you for every second spent working on org-roam and org-roam-server. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ These projects, along with Orgmode itself, are my best discoveries when it comes to personal tooling.

@kirillrogovoy some of us had same idea, you can follow discussions at https://github.com/smallstepman/org-roam-server/discussions to see where we at :)

[smallstepman]

@jethrokuan we'd like to move development and discussion here... can you please give my account permission to create new branches and push commits to this repo? would you also please enable github discussion in the repo settings?

[jethrokuan]

Sure, I'll add those involved into the Org-roam-server team.

Wow, that's awesome!

I've hopped through the discussions. Looks like you guys are looking for the same outcome as I do.

I'd love to join and be useful! I'll try chiming into the discussions and not flooding this issue.

[smallstepman]

Thanks, I'm in :)
Can we also have GitHub discussions enabled for this repo?

[jethrokuan]

I created another (currently private) repo for your usage, feel free to do whatever you want with it.

[tefkah]

Thank you! I have been added to org-roam-server but not yet to this unknown private repo, could you add me there as well? Thank you so much!

[smallstepman]

I think you need to invite us there Jethro, cause I too can't see it
edit: also add @kirillrogovoy

[jethrokuan]

Strange, I not sure where I added you guys before, but now you should've all received an invite to the team, which lets you see the repo. @smallstepman @ThomasFKJorna @kirillrogovoy
