It’s precisely the same launch strategy as Heptabase.
Quite a few advantages to it - improves leverage in future funding rounds, reduces pressure on staff by limiting numbers, and only the seriously interested will sign up.

I understand the frequent comparisons to Hepta, but Scrintal seems a much easier match to Tangent/Obsidian users with links and tags automatically read whereas Hepta is more centred on mindmap functionality. Might still be feature-lite and a little rough around the edges but I can already see it being a comfortable fit in my workflow.
