    Looks good, but as far as I can tell there’s no option to keep your data offline only.

    I really tried to even understand this app … I mean really tried. I just don’t get it.

    Waaay too convoluted UX and even suffering through the youtube videos does not help

      I feel like you’re the only person who’s shared my experience. I’ve used Notion relatively frequently since its launch and my biggest gripe has always been portability. I’ve been following Anytype since their announcement over four years ago (!) waiting on a beta invite and when I finally got one, spent around 40 minutes fighting through “just figuring it out”, the documentation, and YouTube videos to figure out how to add properties to a database to mimic the most basic functionality of Notion’s relationships before finally just admitting this product wasn’t it for me.

    Oh that looks cool. I’m a big notion fan but the lack of offline functionality is pure pain when you fly a lot.

    Ready to host my own instance

    This looks like the kind of thing I would like to use, but I’m already tied into the plain markdown files “ecosystem“. Maybe I can import my stuff into anytype?

    I had a look at this a few weeks ago and loved some of the features. Having no option to keep data local or any simple cross platform backup (even if those will be implemented later) turned me off a bit. Having sync from PC to phone was great, although it relies on either thier cloud system or doing a bunch of tech setup I’m not good enough to handle. Overall good concept but a lot of things made me uncomfortable.

    I then found Obsidian which is similar but seems to have a bunch of better features, and is all stored locally in standard formats. 10/10 If you like the look of any type chack out obsidian
