Capacities
I am very happy with this product. I have been in Roam Research for about a year and a half. While it was a great move into "relational knowledge management", it has a surprising level of lackluster-ness about it, and has not changed. For this reason it is not "fun" — you may think this is not important, but it is. And I will say — Capacities is FUN. Of course, this has many practical dimensions — it adds object types, and makes it extremely flexible to add new ones. (One of the big things I was surprised about with Roam, is the absolute absence of the ability to add any meta-data — "surely, it must be here somewhere — the ability to add custom fields at the top of the page?" — nope. But Capacities is super-flexible this way. It is a huge leap forward, and I hope they can get a lot of traction. I hope they are not too far ahead of their time. I am supporting them, it is by far and obviously the best product. I first lived in Evernote for many years, then went to Notion, then Roam... now Capacities (a pretty common pattern, I think!)
