Okay, I got to ask at this point. #Heptabase is being weirdly buggy to me at all odds and ends. The desktop app likes to hang up repeatedly on startup or a few minutes into operation. Similar redraw/unresponsive issues occur on the mobile app, where scrolling down after pasting plainly becomes impossible.
The stability doesn‘t feel like a 1.0 product. Even Logseq on mobile and desktop is more stable than this.
Wow #Heptabase now charges a lot of money. 108 dollars a year is an asking price.
Apparently it keeps them income-positive which is good for a VC-funded system but even if I wanted to poke around, investigating how good they are seems like an expensive hobby… and replacing Obsidian for me in terms of knowledge development would take a lot of features.
