09/12/2020, 4:51 PMIf it's single user + local, I'd personally consider more lightweight solutions - k

09/12/2020, 4:59 PMthat's fair. that's why resource utilization is my biggest concern. will do a rfc about this at some point, right after i finish the rfc about concepts and terminologies 😅 - i

09/15/2020, 2:17 PMHow is this related to imformation control? - k

09/15/2020, 2:19 PMdendron will not go down for maintenance and there will never be a time when you don't have access to your notes - i
imalightbulb

09/15/2020, 2:19 PMthis is also why I left Roam (the main reason) - k
kevins8
09/15/2020, 2:21 PMyeah, these things are usually a trade off between control and convenience - i
imalightbulb

imalightbulb
09/15/2020, 2:23 PMlike some people do tasks lists in Roam that includes personal stuff - k
kevins8
09/15/2020, 2:54 PMyep, and that's one of the reasons why dendron exists 🙂 - u
