Loop development has seemingly stopped

Our team adopted Loop since many of us prefer the personal knowledge management system style of Notion or Obsidian to other classic note-taking and sharing software. However, many core features are still not present that have been Day 1 features of these other tools, and a quick check of the Loop Roadmap leads me to believe that most features will be security/governance focused. That's disappointing if true, because right now Loop is clearly inspired by those tools, but incredibly far behind in a way that makes it hard to justify their continued use. For example:

  • Cannot embed documents inside Loop-- in Notion you can just drag and drop a PDF to upload, and the /embed command lets you put an interactive document inside the page
  • Cannot select multiple pages to re-arrange structure
  • No Copilot to perform page cleanup-- Notion lets you use AI to fix formatting, and it works very well.
  • No command palette-- this is a must for operating in a knowledge management system
  • No Mac app
  • No mind map a la Obsidian

I could continue to produce these examples, but I am hoping to find out that once some core governance features are completed, Microsoft will be focusing some development efforts on improving this platform-- we hope it is not abandonware a few years into it's launch.
