I read the suggestion to use Nativefier with Roam over on Appademic and installed it last night. Not offline, mind, but I appreciate the ability to treat it as its own instance.

Oh, it’s all completely web-app, same as in any browser window, just evoked through an “app” named “Roam.app” and running it its own instance so I can easily ⌘+Tab to it and the like. Sorry to be unclear.

So: Your data are stored on the Roam server not on your local disk. Right?
