A 75k page import is quite the load. We have bulk markdown import but that may test its limits. How would you ideally perform that and where are you importing from?
It’s really about not having the controls to do the things I normally do on a phone. A few examples:
- checking checkboxes is a nightmare. 7/10 times I attempt to check a checkbox on mobile it thinks I want to edit the block (assuming it’s because the touch points are too small - a native app would give better controls over explicitly editing certain parts of a block).
- reference brackets always produce something like this [[[something]] with the extra “[“. No idea why this happens, but it’s really annoying to type out [[, start typing my text, then get [[[ and have to manually move my cursor (which is already cumbersome on iOS) to delete the extra bracket.
- copying and pasting is easily my most used feature on mobile for almost any app. Copying in Roam on mobile is very unreliable. Sometimes text is selected, other times an entire block (which doesn’t actually produce a copy to my clipboard when I copy) is selected. A mobile app (or I guess a pwa could do the same) would allow for something like a copy button.
- lots of other small little quirks that I’m less concerned about: having to double click to create a new block, mobile menu bar is partially cutoff, etc.
My other must have feature is mobile, which it looks like you have covered. I haven’t tried Clover yet, but do you have interlinking and block references? I assume so as that’s a pretty basic core functionality of a note taking tool now, but I understand a product is always a work in progress.
Also, do you have migration tools for importing existing notes? I have 75k pages, and that number grows by 20-100 daily, so it’s a big ask to abandon that.
Anyway, congrats on the launch.
