The way the internet is going with AI and it's use of data, paid advertising having access to everything we know, love, and use...we, the users, have little to no control over what these companies know about us. Unfortunately, even some of the other knowledge management apps have access to the precious content you might be storing. This is where Anytype got me hooked. Their promise to build a safe and secure application, fully encrypted, with the users privacy as their core principle. Understanding that the team is dedicated to building a tool for the users freedom and protection of their data is truly inspiring. Apart from the end-to-end encryption, the layout and setup of the software is just SEXY. The original idea of the Graph they have built, to visualize your connection of objects and documents you create, combined with the new psychology of Object Types vs pages on pages. It's brilliant. Yes, there is a learning curve, like any professional software (think of photoshop or protools) you need to learn first the fundamentals, features, and elements to become an efficient user. With this release of the official beta, they've accomplished a huge milestone. I believe from here on the user onboarding will become more efficient. Templates, tutorials, and more education will come. If you're not already using Anytype, now is the time to start. Join a town hall, get in touch with their mission and vision, the plan they have ahead, and become a power user. I guarantee it will pay off.
