Roam is the app I love to hate. I love it, but I really wish a competitor was built with a focus purely on speed, security, and reliability (plus the roam innovative linked references and tagging). I suspect a large % of users are over served by all the intricate features and many just want something basic with bi directional links that’s fast, secure and reliable, which is exactly the disruption-ripe scenario Christensen describes.

Every time I use roam I have a slight fear in the back of my head it’s going to lose some of my notes or have a data breach.

https://obsidian.md has served me very well. It's not open-source but the community on discord and the forums has been amazing and folks are very responsive to feature requests.

Maybe keep your eye on Athens, an open source Roam clone: https://github.com/athensresearch/athens

If you need something mature, [tiddlywiki](https://lesser.occult.institute/an-opinionated-approach-to-t...). If you're open to something real new (and like that shiny interface), [Logseq looks really good](https://github.com/logseq/logseq)
