WordBlock Extension

Word block is a web3 note-taking tool built for open and interactive block reference.

There are some inspirations for me to build wordblock:
(To summarize ahead i want to build a tool for thoughts that enables public block reference and semantic search)
- Fragmented knowledge takeaway by attention 👀

Reading is a huge activity in which we consume information, but it has been heavy since we let the brain take(memory) too many things.

I need a \"container\" to carry the fragmented knowledge i have from reading, specifically the highlights and memos. The \"container*\" should represent the context (at what time\\from where\\i consume\\what information)

*In the theory of publishing, framing (encapsulation) is used to support the subsequent filtering (classification & search), amplification (propagation) and models (value distribution).


- Block-building writing experience

This block-building writing experience is classic in some note-taking tools like roamresearch, I'm a big beneficiary of it. Generally speaking, I write in block units and every block has its unique ID, so when i write an article i can combine those blocks with context ——we call it \"block reference\".

So, you will see an article from a bunch of static text to \"a chain of blocks\" with their individual context.

ge li (ID: 000000d91ebdac9f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/13/2023 i started to collect fragments from daily conversations, joyful readings, or words from the lucky cookies ;) those words are in different contexts with various structures. I m lucky to be in a multi-lingue environment and form a habit of inter-preting between text, so word block is a very useful tool for me to do that. Not only to keep the record across websites/platforms, but also to check the context, and see the connections along the way.
