Congrats, this is a an awesome idea and well implemented. Especially the name and domain is kind of welcoming and setting the right tone. I just checked out write.as' and ResearchRoam's traffic and they have both over 1-2M visits per month which isn't too bad and surprised me a bit. Do you have insights into this market? Why does a simple editor (write.as) gets so much traffic and is still growing? Is linking (Roam) not an overrated feature and easy to accomplish with any other note taking tool? What kind of people are using these tools? Isn't there not heavy competition on the native app side? |

Write.as isn't an editor; it's a Medium (blogging) alternative.

Roam is a supercharged wiki specifically for journaling and mind-mapping (i.e. a personal wiki). People who don't understand why GitHub "wikis" aren't really wikis will also have difficulty understanding what makes wikis appealing/effective.
You can look through recent discussions here on HN about similar Roam-like tools (like Obsidian[1]) if you want to see how people are approaching these things.
