Really impressed with how far AnyType has come in the last year. As I predicted in my article from the Alpha version, it didn't take long at all for this app to match Notion for everything I needed to organize important aspects of my life.
It still has a bit of a learning curve and some sticky areas, but it's fully functional, secure, and streamlined enough to pick up with just a few hours of practice setting up a course schedule for my classes in the Summer/Fall.
@sharan If you need that independent backup, that would be a factor for sure. P2P sync and local storage shouldn't have a limit. And I think it's possible to self-host a sync location as well.
@sharan That is one of the biggest flaws of a LOT of really cool software. The UX is so often TERRIBLE from a non-techie perspective (or even a techie one, lol). Anytype's actually improved since their alpha version, so I'm hoping they keep headed in that direction. More accessibility, fewer bugs, clearer language, and a better introductory tutorial.
In short, what the "1 GB limit" actually is, is just this: You can transfer unlimited data between your devices while they are on the same network. If you wanted to have live syncing away from home, you'd need one of the following:
A paid plan.
A self-hosted "node" (a transfer point linked to the Internet where the data can be transferred through).
A VPN like Nord with something called "Meshnet" which makes your devices think they're all on the same network.
Now, if only Anytype's PR people would actually hire me, I could explain all of this to everyone, lol.
