You have inspired me to take another look, having spent many years using Zoot, and having abandoned it quite a while back. It is interesting looking at it through the lens of 2021. The use of apps like Obsidian and Roam have changed the scene a lot. For me, Zoot has utility as a universal inbox and as a task management/workflow tool. But having used Obsidian for a while now, there is no way I could make Zoot my only PKM app with the alternatives out there.
