Curious if anyone tried self hosting it yet.

I was looking into Notion alternatives months ago and none of them seemed good enough. I’ve been using Joplin and it’s been ok, but I’d like to set up something that I can use collaboratively with friends and family for things like shared shopping lists, guides and project tracking.

Now that Anytype has been out for a little bit, how do you find it? How resource heavy is it to run?

Wasn’t self-hosting but trying it out with their server for awhile. I think the idea is great, and I think one of its big UI advantages is it’s a lot more intuitive on mobile than most other personal knowledge management / note takers I’ve used.

I did find it pretty buggy at times and a lot of the features not built out enough yet to be a daily driver for any particular use case of mine yet. I’ve tucked away into my “cool projects to check up on at a later date” mental drawer.

Kinda like it, but there are some ux things I don’t like. i.e. - tags are not in the search

I am also using it, it is a great alternative to Notion but of course has more limited functionality.

For me the deal breaker is that you cannot share your notes or invite collaborators.

Text editing sometimes also seems clunky. I think this app has a great potential and I hope they continue improving it.

Sadly, it is not yet supported but from what I read it is on their roadmap and high in the priority list.

I’ve used it for 3 months. Really like it and the options it provides. Very useful resource althougg I’m not self hosting yet. Lack of collaboration an issue but I believed its on the roadmap

I’ve been using it for a while, since the alpha. The mobile and desktop apps have matured nicely with a nice consistent UI. I’ve jumped from Joplin, to logseq, and now happy with anytype.
