OT: I recently tried to get some vim binds working on the latest Xcode and it's impossible. People got it working on prior versions but now, it's seem to be over.
How are people developing with Xcode who prefer vim binds?
You can see and comment on write.as posts from other ActivityPub (AP) platforms that support it like Mastodon. It's up to the platform to implement it since the AP specification leaves implementation details mostly up to the implementor.
Congrats, this is a an awesome idea and well implemented. Especially the name and domain is kind of welcoming and setting the right tone.
I just checked out write.as' and ResearchRoam's traffic and they have both over 1-2M visits per month which isn't too bad and surprised me a bit. Do you have insights into this market? Why does a simple editor (write.as) gets so much traffic and is still growing? Is linking (Roam) not an overrated feature and easy to accomplish with any other note taking tool? What kind of people are using these tools? Isn't there not heavy competition on the native app side?

Write.as isn't an editor; it's a Medium (blogging) alternative.

Roam is a supercharged wiki specifically for journaling and mind-mapping (i.e. a personal wiki). People who don't understand why GitHub "wikis" aren't really wikis will also have difficulty understanding what makes wikis appealing/effective.
You can look through recent discussions here on HN about similar Roam-like tools (like Obsidian[1]) if you want to see how people are approaching these things.
Thanks for sharing. I've skimmed your post and headed right to your website in hope to get a quick overview of what you guys are actually doing.
Looking at your marketing communication and seeing Robotic Process Automation I thought, hey cool those guys can build me an assembly-line powered by robots for my new hardware product I'm designing. Then coming back reading a bit more your post (but still too lazy to read it concentrated because it's way too long, I head to the comments and see stuff more in the software automation territory like Autohotkey, Selenium...
I guess I got it all wrong but your positioning is super broad or is it just misleading communication. Whatever, good luck!
RPA is well known in enterprise. But your comment shows that what works for enterprise doesn’t always work for the rest of the market. That goes not just for messaging and positioning but sales and marketing too.
Thanks for the feedback! Robotic Process Automation or RPA is a common name for GUI-level automation but it can be confusing, that's why we more and more often try to refer to what we do as 'software robots' or 'software bots'
