I looked at recall-app.com and decided not to invest time exploring it further. The reason I passed is the same reason I moved from Roam to Obsidian and will stay with Obsidian:

* Data in some mysterious location "in the browser" with a promise of future export capability which will be delivered at the worst possible time of a product's life-cycle: when the company is dying.

* Data in plain text on my computer right now and always.

No aspersions cast on either company's people, intentions, goodwill, or the products' (Roam and Recall) quality and value. It's just that "I own my own life" is an organizing principle that I violate at my peril. My life is more important to me than your app.

As for the comment "ideas are cheap and execution is everything," I'm not sure how to connect that question to the success/failure of recall-app.com. The IF/THEN does not compute in my brain.
