Anyone who have had a look at #Anytype yet? https://anytype.io/#PKM #TFT

@anders I did a while ago. not a super active user beyond evaluation and experimentation though, but I am here if you have questions / want some impressions

@anders @spinningthoughts I started with #Anytype as an alpha tester and I really like it. I have not properly learned it yet, but I am looking forward to doing so.I definitely think it's worth keeping in the toolbox.

@spinningthoughts No actual questions. More curious about strengths and weaknesses.

@spinningthoughts @Calixthe Where does it have its benefits compared to Notion?

@anders I think @spinningthoughts would better be able to answer this, but I can say that #Anytype offers a local first storage solution, so ownership of your data vs having to rely on #Notion storing and owning your data is maybe one of the biggest advantages.

@anders @Calixthe Local-first, freedom of graph and bottom-up structure creation (start with metadata-free pages, convert up to other types as you gain the insights to structure things), the related ability to exploit semantic links via reference properties. Documents and hyperlinks become their own graph nodes so you can see where the same thing gets referenced.Has a p2p concept for syncing mobile and desktop if they‘re in the same network.

@spinningthoughts @Calixthe Seems to be a lot of conceptual overlap with Tana from the webpage as well. (But also some obvious differences, cloud-only vs local-first being the most important.) Will have a look at it I think.

@spinningthoughts @Calixthe How well suited is it for Zettelkasten-style note taking?

@anders @Calixthe much better than Notion for sure. Chuck it in as a generic page to start, or maybe a "Zettel" type. You also get the same ability to turn parts of a page into new objects and leave a link behind, so that‘s great for refactoring a not-so-atomic note to an atomic note, especially when you‘re starting and just populating. No unlinked mentions though AFAIK. Don’t expect Logseq-style implicit aggregation.

@anders @Calixthe also don‘t expect Tana-like workflows with fully embedded transclusions of nodes as linked together - Anytype‘s transclusions are no better than Notion (which is a shame) This is one region where @capacities excells with flying colors - embedding of pages into other pages. Takes away the benefits of Canbans (probably featured by EOY) and local-first data though.

@spinningthoughts @Calixthe From this, it sound like it’s @capacities I should have a look at. :)

@anders @Calixthe @capacities if you don‘t mind the online focus - do! They have a lof of exciting concepts already. Smart queries are in the pipe and task/project management is up next… and they also implement a graph-first document structure approach.

@spinningthoughts @Calixthe I’ve more or less gone all in on Tana, but it’s always worthwhile to check out what others offers as well. :)

@anders @Calixthe considering that then, I would say that capacities is a great long-form writing tool to Tana‘s focus on highly atomized, context-rich bullet points.

@anders I began testing it two days ago. It's not for me, but it looks very promising and might very well become the secure alternative to Notion for all those Notion lovers out there.

@anders Yes. Very Notion-esque for me. And learning about Capacities.io, I realize these two are one and the same with one difference: one is desktop app, the other is web app
