The technical foundation of Anytype and the conviction behind it might be the biggest reason why I am a convinced user and active member of the community for almost 4 years now.

Although I was always missing some features I was always positively assured that almost all I am waiting for will come in the future and a lot of it was already implemented ever since I found Anytype.

It always made a lot of sense to me that the technical foundation makes it way more challenging to work on well known features from SaaS products and I am happy the team took the challenge seriously despite very loud and demanding Feature requests from the Community.

The team persistently iterated and developed new solutions that enable modern and fast collaboration without compromising on security, privacy and digital autonomy.

I am full of praise for this new kind of software and I could definitely nitpick on specific solutions but especially the last Town Hall showed me that the Roadmap will bring everything I could dream of and I am patient and happy to pick up the discussion and give my opinion on specific features and UX solutions when the team is actively working on it.

I see a very bright future for Anytype but even more important for their users!

What needs improvement

bugs (6)limited search functionality (3)no multi-tab support (5)notifications and reminders (1)

vs Alternatives

Anytype stays true to the local-first and privacy-first vision. It’s rare to see a tool that treats autonomy and digital autonomy as a real philosophy, not just a feature.

Especially recent history shows how important digital sovereignty can be!

It is also always getting closer to become an "Everything App" and will improve the way we work and think by bringing information, ideation, communication and collaboration together in one place.

Does the knowledge graph help you find connections?

sometimes

Is Markdown support adequate for your writing needs?

yes definitely

How quickly do developers respond to issues or feedback?

Very quickly. Som smaller bugs even get fixed within minutes...
