I've very recently put some research into various tools of that kind. One has to wonder what's going on at Roam. I don't know what the "well-documented community issues" are, you see a lot more posts hinting at some drama than actually telling you what it is. But "slow product velocity" is spot on -- if anything, that's a mild way to put it. Basically every complaint you see veterans make from two years ago is still unaddressed.

I'm now happy with Logseq, which is basically a clone of Roam, with an open-source business model. I really hope the business side works out for them, because for all practical purposes, they've out-engineered Roam to the point of embarrassment. It allows local storage, and will have an iOS app soon (I was able to register for the beta, it's already very solid).
