So an app I’d never heard of called amplenote has added bidirectional links and a Roam importer:

Giving it a try…

OK. So amplenote does have backlinks, but they are hidden away in the “note details” window which is hard to get to. Maybe they will improve this later, but right now it really feels like a cheap hack to get new users, not something that a lot of thought went into.

On the other hand, amplenote does seem pretty nice otherwise. Unlike many of the other apps implementing Roam-like features (or Roam for that matter), the task management aspect does seem to be very well implemented. Amplenote looks like Rich Text, but it does export to Markdown (with front matter for metadata).
