Anytype - Public Beta - A safe space for your thoughts, private, local, p2p & open

Anytype for me started with pure curiosity. In my school days, the internet was both costly and slow. I found myself building local networks with friends and crafting chat apps using raw TCP/IP. Fast forward to today, the landscape of app development has shifted. Many developers now lean on cloud platforms, supposed to hide from you the underlying technologies and challenges. However, this convenience comes at a cost: inefficiency, potential data breaches, and a loss of the data ownership. At the same time, over the past two decades, customer hardware has evolved remarkably. We now have affordable and speedy mobile internet, as well as smartphones with 1TB of storage. Given these advancements, the appeal of the cloud should have waned. Yet, many of us remain dependent on cloud providers and the tools that are tethered to them. So for me it was the challenge to build something useful, while using the technologies consciously in an efficient and truly secure way. When we began this journey, many said we were crazy – and perhaps they were right 😅! We encountered numerous challenges and had to address issues across the entire tech stack, rather than just focusing on user-facing features. However, this approach enriched our technical understanding and led us to more balanced solutions that remained true to our original principles. I'm so proud of Anytype team which made it possible and excited that it's now open for everyone.

🎉 Congratulations to the entire team on this fantastic launch! 🚀🌟 I couldn't be more thrilled to see this incredible product making its way to the forefront of the tech world. It's evident that your hard work, dedication, and passion have come together to create something truly remarkable 😍

This product embodies the essence of Marshall McLuhan's quote: "First we build the tools, then they build us." It has the potential to become a universal tool in your digital garden.

The source code for the entire system is published on GitHub, not just some parts! So not only can everyone verify the code, but even self-host Anytype 🤯

Seems like a versatile and comprehensive solution for organizing and managing various aspects of life and work.

I love Anytype and have been using it for a while . So happy it’s public now !

HYPEEEEE!! LET'S GOOOO!!! I only joined Anytype this June and I couldn't be more happy with the product. I have my library with the list of books I've read. I have my travel list with all the places I've been to. I have my notes about this Game Engine that I've been learning. I'm in the process of building my habit tracker now. You fricking rock, guys! Keep going!

I have been following the development of this wonderful app for half a year, and the speed of pushing new features, fixing bugs and managing the community are amazing! I believe, at that speed of development it will become the best productivity app ever! And the best thing about it, is that it's open source!

I don't like companies which monetize my data. It is so cool that we have privacy-first products. Anytype rocks!!!

I have been using Anytype since last August and I think with this application I will be for a long time (I would like). I was looking for something beautiful like Notion, while offline like Obsidian and found it!
