πŸ“• subnode [[@melanocarpa/agora]] in πŸ“š node [[agora]]

img side { lapin 77 {My visual take}}

Agora is a β€˜wiki like experimental social network and distributed knowledge graph’, so they said. I would say it's an aggregator of digital gardens and a community around it. Anagora is the first and biggest instance of it. [[Flancian]] was the one who created it and the software behind, but there were other good contributors. Thank you!

=> https://anagora.org

I'm part of it:. I also frequent the associated video conferences.

Agora makes a big emphasis on graphs and links. Their analogue of hyphae is called a node, nodes are generated from contents from multiple sites. There is also a cool notion of push/pull and go links!

//I was inspired by Agora's go links and implemented something very similar in [[Betula]].//

2022-01-18 I wrote the author an email about the possibilities of making Agora and [[Mycorrhiza]] compatible. 2022-03-06 Melanocarpa was added to Anagora, along with Mycorrhiza support. Furthermore, in 2023 proper support of [[Mycomarkup]] was added.

=> https://github.com/flancian/agora-server/commit/7783430aa33986186e9fd66ee858250b115e0d7e | Commit that adds Mycorrhiza support.

The Agorans also seem to be using [[git]]-based [[markdown]]-driven digital gardens mostly. It is the default choice for many, but luckily support for more formats was added. Mycorrhiza, for example, is supported! There is also [[Betula in Agora]].

You can't really talk about Agora without Flancia.

        • if I'm adding auto pull maybe it's time to make [[settings]] clearer, in particular have an easy toggle for auto pull to trigger or not (leads to [[agora autopilot]] maybe, which I've always thought could be very fun.)

  • this is very much like the motivation for [[push]] in the [[agora]], or at least goes very well with it
  • [[push]] [[agora]]
    • fix toggle switch for [[auto pull]]
    • implement [[auto pull]]

    • client side pulling
      • done for: mastodon, twitter, wikipedia
      • need to test general URL pulling, see how many sites allow iframes
    • improve [[agora graphs]]
      • I like what logseq does: show link direction as particles. push/pull could be different particles. hmm. particle diagrams. check out [[feynman]] for inspiration?
      • could get inspiration from some diagrams in [[a rosetta stone]]
    • [[wikilinks everywhere]] -> [[agora ext]]
      • I really want to move wikilinking to on-demand (push button/ctrl-shift-l) or cronjob-like behaviour but right now it just wikilinks everything every time you click, and some sites break
        • this is already better after a quick PR to linkify on click instead of mouse movement

      • may require rewriting in parts :) but it's alright, I think I have enough time thankfully
    • move to containers based setup
