Why do people use tags and search for them in queries which is theoretically more work than using collections straight away? Because it’s soooo easy. One click and here you go.
With collections, it’s always two or three clicks, and on mobile, you can’t even look in the raster view what the backlinks are at one glance. You always have to think around the corner and search and look and try and fail. Sometimes just to realize that it’s a function that is not implemented in the mobile app, yet.
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
Make it easy to use collections, to set up backlinks, to view them, to edit them, to list them. They should work in the same way as tags do now, even with different colors.
Links and backlinks should be first citizens in Anytype.
HOW COULD IT BE DONE?
Look at tags how they work now and try to reconstruct the same with collections.
REAL WORLD USE CASES
Links and lists everywhere, all things are connected, but with an overview at a glance.. People don’t miss tags in collections 2.0 because they can work the same way with links and backlinks as they did with tags before. Just that they can skip the set-up of queries to look up the tagged objects.
RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES
None.
ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
ᅟAanytype is great and there’s really a lot of potential to become awesome.
