Is anyone using Heptabase regularly? What are your use cases, and how do you like it? I used it for quite a while and found it helpful and intriguing. I stopped using it when it felt like the developers were more focused on chasing fancy new features (often AI-related) than on getting some of the basic features to work better and more seamlessly. But in true CRIMPing fashion, I remain intrigued.

A few times a year I check out Heptabase for a while and then delete it. I just cannot find a reason to use it. For me, Zengobi’s Curio provides all the visual notetaking and organization that I need, and it’s not reliant on someone’s cloud security.

Thanks. Part of the appeal of Heptabase is that I can use the Web version on my work computer. I also find the whiteboards much more useful than Obsidian’s for collecting and working with related notes. I use Obsidian a lot, but have not enjoyed the experience of identifying and working with related notes.
