I’d very much like to see a follow up to this after you have a few prints under your belt. What you like or don’t like, or compare to other printers you’ve had.
Everyone should know that, very often, they are just wrong. And that’s ok. We all are.
The more ready you are to really accept that you could be wrong about anything, and admit when you are wrong about something, the better you will make your own life, as well as the lives of those around you.
Not self-hosting, but I have been using Anytype for a few months now and absolutely love it. I’m doing a lot of online coursework, and so I’m using Anytype to take and organize my notes actively for several hours a day, every day. I also use it for task tracking, journalling, and it has just generally become the place where I dump any kind of info I might need to retrieve in the future.
There is a learning curve before you get the hang of it. I was also frustrated by the editor at first, but now that I have learned some of the slash commands, added in with markdown formatting, I find it to be really efficient. One oddity that likely trips folks up is that every paragraph is a separate “block” which makes partially selecting text across blocks impossible. On the other hand though, it makes grabbing a block and repositioning or reformatting the contents super simple.
Keep in mind that Anytype is offline first, p2p for syncing, and end-to-end encrypted. So the value of self hosting is, I suppose, not using their provided (currently free) backup node? It doesn’t seem like a big deal to me unless you don’t trust the encryption.
You make a very good point here. Currently the provided backup node is limited to 10GB, which is a lot, but probably not for what you are trying to accomplish. The Anytype folks have also stated that in the future they plan to charge for larger backup nodes, which may be something you want to avoid.
In the meantime, because syncing is p2p, I believe you can effectively self-host by just making sure you have an internet-connected machine always running the client app. In that way, there will always be a peer to sync to, even if your backup node is full and not accepting more data.
I’m a little intrigued, but it also seems way overhyped. The website is much too corporate-feeling and buzz-word-y for my taste. However, I’ll also admit I’m interested in any tool that touts end-to-end encryption and peer-to-peer tech. What do you all think about it?
I started out as “oh that’s a neat idea, I should play around with it” and now, just a month or so later, I depend on it almost daily.
Just one example: My family was on vacation and my wife asked if I remembered how long our next planned activity would take. Of course I don’t remember, but because I was using Anytype as a scratch pad for picking out our vacation activities (this was weeks prior), I was able to pull up the answer on my phone in less than 10 seconds - even though I had no internet or cell service at the time.
Having not come from Notion, Obsidian, or any other related software, there was a bit of a learning curve for me. But now I can’t help but keep dumping information into it.
It all still works great for me across all my devices (Linux, Synology NAS, Mac, and iOS) plus it looks like their community forums are still active, and they have packages for Synology DSM 7, which is relatively new. The last iOS app update was 2022, but maybe that’s just a sign that it is stable and doesn’t need frequent updates?
I wonder if you were using their old software called BitTorrent Sync. At some point they did a rebranding, and it could have left you with an abandoned client that stopped working, maybe? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bummer that it’s not working for you. It’s definitely one of my favorite apps.
