Yeah. At least a month ago Roam was unusable for publishing. A page can take literally 5 min to load.

Roam also doesn't let you have several workspaces/databases, I think.

In my experience, I actually /want/ different things in my life (notes, diaries, public writing, etc) to be in different places. I even have several note-taking apps for different contexts, even though the feature sets are very similar.

I know that for some people, being able to have EVERYTHING in one place is an awesome feature. But for me and possibly others, it's the opposite.

Just to let you know both of those issues have been solved with Roam, although page loads are still not super fast.

You can have multiple workspaces now too but they've started charging for that I believe.
