They’ve had a lot of employee turnover, with many leaving for Tana. Having used both, Tana is just more polished. I have really enjoyed Roam and am grateful for Conor’s contributions to the space, but he really needed to hire someone with experience managing an engineering team that ships. The innovation has been in the RoamJS extensions. A former developer on the team told me he left because the founder was trying to “reinvent engineering management from first principles”. It seems like that effort was at cross purposes with shipping speed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
