Make the lists collapsible (like in Roam)

[Stvad]

Collapsible lists for the garden. That's important for legibility of deeply nested things.

Things to consider:

• Preserve the state for user a in the [[local storage]]
• It can also be useful to have a default level at which the lists come in the "collapsed" state. Anything below level 3 can be a starting point [[to experiment]] from.
• Theoretically this can be extracted from Roam Data, but it's not a part of JSON export atm

Implementation considerations

Workflowy Opensource clones to learn from

Libraries that may serve as a foundation

And it's live! https://twitter.com/VladyslavSitalo/status/1370825692133298176?s=20
With example at https://vlad.roam.garden/.

If you want to get this in your garden - you need to go through the standard upload process at http://roam.garden and the new version will include the updates

Is there any way to make the collpased lists the default?

[Stvad]

Hey! not at the moment :(
that information (about collapse state) is not included in the original export json. It should be possible to work around it if one uses the plugin #28 for publishing, but that's not implemented yet.

Another approach can be to have special "control tags" as discussed in #19

Thanks for the reply! It's not a huge issue for me, it's just my personal preference, I think it looks tidier and doesn't throw a ton of info at people right away 🙂
