Calculist is plain text in the same way that markdown is plain text. Calculist is not WYSIWYG.

The desktop app will be released within the next few days.

Noted. A standalone mobile app is low on the dev priorities list right now, but hopefully we'll get to it someday.

Also, the desktop app (which will be available within the next few days) is 100% local, no internet connection necessary, and 100% private.

Calculist is more lightweight than Jupyter or Google Colab, and it's more note-taking oriented than data processing oriented. It's more of a handy thinking tool than a complete computing environment.

Calculist is very much active.

You should use whichever tool you prefer, of course. But it sounds like you're asking about how Calculist is different than Org-mode. The two have a lot of overlapping functionality, but Calculist is a little more friendly and approachable for non-techy people, and it has a cloud-based web version for collaboration (in addition to the local desktop version). There are other differences, but those are the main ones that come to mind.

Public documents will eventually be a supported feature, yes.

Done. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes. Ctrl + spacebar to expand/collapse.

There's slightly outdated documentation on github: https://github.com/calculist/calculist/wiki/Keyboard-Shortcu...

I'm working on getting things updated now. More documentation will be available over the next few weeks.

Roam is more oriented towards networked thought and knowledge management. Calculist is geared more towards problem solving and calculation.

I'm working on creating more resources now (videos, templates, better documentation, etc.), and I'll be updating the site accordingly in the coming days.
