Or, an open-source alternative like Zettlr, Logseq, or Athens (coming soon): https://github.com/athensresearch/athens

In general, we shouldn't let expensive paid software like Roam leech value from plugins made by volunteers!

People are going to build for the tools that have strong network effects. Those Roam clones you mention have none at the present moment.

And I don't see how a Roam Research integration would be "leeching value," especially because it will eventually be possible to build paid plugins for Roam, which opens the revenue door for devs building plugins.
