YouTube Timestamps and Looping in RoamJS

I wrote about some gamechanging features that David Vargas at RoamJS has given us.

David Vargas (@dvargas92495), the creator of RoamJS, has done it again. We can now do more with YouTube inside of @RoamResearch: Timestamps and looping! This thread demonstrates a few ways I'm using these features. Full demo here:

I'm sure Roamans will enjoy the ability to take notes at specific timestamps in a video or YouTube-uploaded podcast, but to me that's not the most game-changing part...

Roam/YouTube just became the best music practice notebook ever.

You can collect songs and tutorials, set in- and out-points and then loop them, slowed down if you want.

This makes Roam the best tool in existence zeroing in on the sections that are giving you trouble (practice).

I also love the timestamps for the ability to collect scenes and shots from movies. It could also be a great tool for B-roll collection for documentary.

Language/dialect-learning, any kind of action or skill that would benefit from repetition.

I'm already building some fingerstyle guitar practice sessions in Roam, and it's amazing to be able to add another part of my life that's important to me into this system, in a no-compromise way. In fact, there has never been a practice tool this good that is this easy to use.

It is shameful that every member of the Roam community hasn't thrown hundred dollar bills at David Vargas. He is making life better for all of us every day.
