Looks very promising. An all-in-one project management tool with an emphasis on flexibility and privacy. And the fact that it's open-source makes it even more compelling.
Imagine having the best ideas but never being able to share them. In contrast, imagine having all your thought accessible by strangers. In my opinion both scenarios are scary. But thus is also the state of PKM systems. Either they are local and difficult to sync across devices, like obsidian, or the sync feature comes at the cost of all your data being stored at a faraway server, like Notion etc and accessible to the web, we cannot decide what to share or what not to share. Now, I have used both Obsidian and Notion, and I like many things about them. Obsidian has a sync option, a bit pricey for a casual user like me. Notion is web based, syncs across your devices, but nothing is truly private. Now enter Anytype, locally stored, with android and desktop apps that are fully functional offline, open source (starting with public beta version, if I am not mistaken) but syncs across devices for the same account (user) and collaboration will soon be possible between different accounts. It is also end-to-end encrypted. If that was not enough, the PKM method used by Anytype is also based on how the mind perceives the environment visually as objects. There is some learning curve with it's type, relation, set, collection features. But, for me, it became very intuitive after the first 2 days of me using it. After all that, there is even a graph. I have very high hopes for Anytype. The team is wonderful and, through out the alpha phase of the app, I have seem them accomplish things that I thought would not be possible. And did I mention the app is just entering public beta phase? So happy to be part of the launch. Wishing everyone a bright future. Thanks.
I'm one of the few people who extensively tested anytype's first alpha version on a mac over the past 8 weeks. I used it to organise my tasks, private files and research activities. Overall I loved the experience and will continue to (heavily) use it. Pros - UI / UX is intuitive, exceptionally well designed, a piece of art - performance and speed are outstanding, super slick and snappy (vs. evernote, notion, airtable, trello) - self hosting without set up through IPFS, all complexity is abstracted away - privacy by design - I feel deeply relieved when nobody is watching or stealing my data - offline first - used it on a train and plane without any down times or restrictions - potential - content addressable web links will provide devs with completely new tool sets empowering edge AI, verifiable version control / auditability Cons - pass phrase for key recovery might be cumbersome for non technical users - still in alpha - I want to share it with my friends, family and colleagues asap - small bugs re text formatting given the early stage I believe anytype will set new standards by combining UX, convenience and privacy in unprecedented ways. Love it.
Really amazing for my personal notes and second-brain things. Love the end to end encryption and offline first mode.
Love it! Finally a solution that takes privacy seriously, and offer great offline support!
Congratulations! I've been a supporter since last year and I'm absolutely thrilled for your team! I'd like to ask as well if installing anytype.io on a virtual instance would be okay, since I'm using a very old borrowed laptop and have no means (or space) to install it on here.
