Roam is totally cool, but at the moment not very polished.

Even worse they're loosing a lot of data, which stopped me from using it – sadly. I still think it's superior to anything else, but loosing data is a show stopper.




Huh. I have a list of things I feel it needs before it's really ready for broad adoption, but data loss? I haven't experienced any, and yours is the first mention I've come across. That said, it's still beta quality and they're moving really fast; since it's still free I'm reserving judgment on the reliability front. It's so good, w so much potential; rooting hard for them to get it right.


The data loss was attributed to scaling problems. They've recently seen a large spike in usage, presumably in part from attention on HN.

They're hiring (Clojure): https://angel.co/company/roam-research/jobs/718960-full-stac...
