Hi Anytype community,
I actually started using Anytype quite a while ago, but I’ve always been more of a lurker online. Since Anytype was in Alpha stage before, I didn’t use it for anything serious other than trying it out, and I was still mostly an Obsidian user.
Recently, Anytype entered the Beta stage, and I think it’s a good time to give Anytype a thorough try. After reading the Docs and watching some YouTube videos, I roughly understood the methodology of object-oriented note-taking in Anytype. I can see the benefits of this approach (organizing a large amount of notes in Obsidian was a nightmare for me), and I like the faster, more native feeling experience compared to Notion. However, I encountered some issues that I didn’t understand during the usage, so I’d like to seek help from more experienced members in the community:
First, there’s the issue of how to batch modify Relations (properties). In Notion’s Database, we can multi-select items and batch modify their properties, but in Anytype, I couldn’t find a way to batch modify for a newly created Set.
Also, regarding how to find notes, when using Obsidian, you can click on a Tag once for quick filtering. But in Anytype, it seems that there is no other way besides creating a new Set and setting a filter.
Is there anything I’ve overlooked in my thoughts above? Thanks in advance for the community’s answers! I hope Anytype gets better and better.
