Sounds interesting. Are offline databases in Roam as functional as those in the cloud? Are they in a proprietary format or can they be easily processed by tools other than Roam? (Obsidian uses only Markdown files which can be easily processed and used outside of Obsidian.) Removing the ability to have local notebooks was the final straw that made me move from Evernote to Obsidian.
