Thanks for Anytype team!
The update seems good.
Although one thing is questionable: “All Objects” widget can’t be hidden now(
oh, I hadn’t seen that, I liked the widget version option. Too bad, as the rest of this release is pretty nice even if I haven’t had time to play with it much yet.
Please,
How do we get the calendar widget in the sidebar as visible in one of the screenshots above? Unable to figure that out. Also, does Anytype automatically connects every object to a date or does it always need to be set up manually?
Just turn a query in calendar view into a widget.
I have created a custom object type “calendar entry” and my calendar is a query for that object type in calendar view. In the widget, dates with a “calendar entries” are marked with a point and of course synchronized with the query page.
And to make it look nicer for me, I added custom CSS:
/* Calendar widget */
.widget.widgetView .viewCalendar .day .inner:has(> .bullet) {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 4px;
}
.widget.widgetView .viewCalendar .day .bullet {
display: none;
}
Why exactly do you think this is an issue? If you delete the original image, it will of course also be removed from the property.
Have you used the chat function in that space previously?
Thank you for the explanation. I was able to add it with the instructions you provided.
So, technically we should be able to manually bootstrap a Daily Notes sort of functionality through this. I am very used to the workflow that uses daily notes so if then I am sure I can add Anytype in my current system.
Because it’s a part of the locked page. A property of a locked page should not be deletable - from within a locked page.
Anytype should in general print a warning when the user wants to delete a file that is referenced somewhere. It would be nice if Anytype also could prevent deleting it if it’s referenced in a locked page.
No, I’ve never used chat before (except once in “Nightly Ops”, but this doesn’t count).
I would like to test it, but how?
– That was my question.
Can you please write a bug report for this then?
As far as I know, you can currently only test it in our Nightly Ops space.
Nightly Ops is invite only correct?
You can request access here.
I personally don’t like the new gradient at the bottom of the widgets bar. I think it looks a bit old-fashioned, unmotivated and even visually distracting. When the widgets bar is to be scrolled, you can see this anyway through the scrollbar that has been created automatically, so there is no need to suggest that the content is disappearing into some depth.
Fortunately, there is Custom CSS in Anytype.
For those who don’t like that new visual ‘improvement’ either:
.sidebar>#containerWidget>.bottom {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
}
.sidebar>#containerWidget>.bottom .grad {
display: none;
}

EDIT:
I know I’m notorious for some things, which is why I love Anytype’s custom CSS!
The Space Widget is now fixed at the top and always accessible, which is great (all my wishes are coming true), but now I think a little space at the bottom would look cleaner when we scroll the widgets bar. To do this, however, you have to set the gap of the parent element to zero and use margin instead to set the spacing between the widgets.
/* Gap between widgets */
.widget.widgetSpace {
margin: 0 0 12px 0;
}
.widget {
margin: 0 0 12px 0;
}
.sidebar>#containerWidget>.body {
gap: 0;
}
Not sure when this feature was added, but the mini TOC has been a huge QoL improvement that I didn’t know I needed. I love how you guys implemented this so it doesn’t take up much space on the screen and will display more information on hover. Also, the [[ is an appreciated update.
Hello Anytype Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I was wondering. is Anytype using AI to help them code because that would really speed things up if they did. i am seeing individuals build whole apps by themselves very fast because they are using ai agents to help them code.
what took a whole team, now can be done with a group of ai agents.
WOW the integration of draw.io is the first step towards a whiteboard in the future. Congratulations, you are an incredible team for your openness and innovation. 
Isn’t it just an embedded iframe?
It is.
Drawio (or a whiteboard) as a component/module is a whole other level of work. I doubt Anytype will do it (or at least not for years).
With the API now, an integration with a whiteboard should now technically be possible, although it’ll live outside of AnyType. Something based on Excalidraw could fetch docs and be embedded, or create node types and automatically update it in AnyType.
Beats waiting for it in AnyType, and also easier to make it work on mobile, because one would not have to re-implement the canvas in the mobile native clients.
