Yes but it's a lot of hassle to set up on Android. No idea about iPhone. And if you think that's fine for you, cool. But now imagine trying to set that up for a shared knowledge system. It's just not feasible.
Oh absolutely this sucks. Just not sure Anytype is any better. It doesn't support sharing, for example. Logseq + SyncThing just works on Android, you simply point both at the same folder. Presumably that's impossible on iPhone.
> It doesn't support sharing
Well this release doesn't but it's kind a beta by the look of things. Team wiki/company knowledge is definitely on their roadmap and one of their major selling points.
That's an interesting take on things. Would you want your operating system to provide a web browser, pdf viewer, and spreadsheet as well? To me it makes no sense that software does not interoperate very well. I think most of this is due to the historical evolution of computers and software. A spell checker used to take up an insane amount of memory, a browser is a competitive product, and interfaces for proper intera…
I wouldn't want the OS to do spell checking, but the OS having a config setting for which spell checker library and settings to use by default and for specific apps would be sweet, would it not? > A spell checker used to take up an insane amount of memory IMO they still do. At least anecdotally, with free software shipping with spell check that often makes up a hefty chunk of the file size. And even ignoring that, fo…
I think this is the right solution: Have the API standardized, and perhaps even provide a default implementation out of the box, but fully support replacing it. Just like how, say, most systems ship an image viewer out of the box, but you can replace it with something else because the system has a standard file association system that a replacement can slot into.

It's amazing how insanely slow OSes can be too install, even without providing some of these things. I feel like getting a new Debian docker image to apt update takes forever now compared to 1995.
I mean, `apt update` is probably more tied to the sheer number of packages (and sometimes repos) that it has to reload in its database than anything about what's actually installed. Maybe also a function of what's installed to check for upgradable packages and check dependency trees, but that still seems like its own problem.
That's useless if the client also sends the same data to Any's node. You can't disable that for now: Self-hosting only without a backup node is currently unavailable The self-hosting-only feature is not released yet. If you don’t want to use Anytype node and instead use p2p sync between your devices, you can block Anytype network traffic (Anytype & Anytype Helper) via your firewall.

Thank you for the heads-up, we released the self-hosting ability yesterday and didn't update the docs. Now it's been updated; self-hosting is available: https://tech.anytype.io/how-to/self-hosting
(I work at Notion) The Anytype model is really cool - in a way, they’ve rebuilt Lotus Notes with 21st century E2E encrypted protocols and technology. They’ve built a really solid personal knowledge app with many of Notion’s features - and some clear improvements over Notion. However they also demonstrate the complexity and tradeoffs of the E2E approach. Anytype has been a work-in-progress since at least 2019. Their d…
It would be interesting what you can say about http://fibery.io ?

> Without these features Anytype is in a much smaller market (PKM) with less distribution than Notion/Coda/Dropbox Paper/Quip/Confluence/… I can tell you that e.g. the whole education market in the EU is waiting for something like AnyType, as soon as they have implemented collaboration, which is very high on their roadmap. As a teacher I just can‘t use Notion or any other US-service based on US cloud services. All cl…
Why not use some EU-based product that hosts on EU servers?
No, it really is. Open source is equivalent to free software in everything but definition, and does not include anything that is not free software. There are minor disagreements between different people from the two camps which licenses to accept (e.g. Debian where this definition originated from, does not consider GFDL with invariant sections free, while FSF apparently does). It really is the whole point of it, defi…
> Open source is equivalent to free software in everything but definition Is this a typo?
No, it isn’t. Open source and free software define the same thing in different ways. FSD defines the user’s freedoms, OSD defines what the license cannot forbid. The end result is the same though.
I don't understand this license. It's not open-source. https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-ts/blob/main/LICENSE.md
Co-founder of anytype is here. The most of are repos are open-source. We have our philosophy regarding open source here https://blog.anytype.io/our-open-philosophy/ Happy to discuss concerns regarding our approach.
He literally voiced a concern and you just completed ignored it by linking a BS corporate speak page.
You are available on Github which doesn't = open-source
