Roam Research

An outlining app that has gone through a great deal of controversy, for being far more expensive than competitors and for having a CEO who belittles his own customers.[1]

On a technical level, being web-only and with no mobile app makes it hard to use on the go. Some have complained it becomes slow over time.

Use Tana Inc or Logseq instead.
