The claim that Anytype’s export options are really weak and/or don’t provide you with full access to the data held in relations is concerning. I haven’t run the tests myself but assume folks are telling the truth about the limitations. Are there any plans to address the limitations? Being able to e…

I believe it’s not entirely fair to say that Anytype creates a lock-in. Anytype allows users to export notes in widely used formats like Markdown and PDF, and there’s no proprietary “Anytype format.” The “Anyblock” format is open-source, self-descriptive, and built with Protocol Buffers (Protobuf), …

I’ve read the post, and here are my takeaways regarding the export feature. The poster isn’t satisfied with the current export function because: Markdown exports don’t include relations. JSON exports aren’t compatible with other apps. I tried exporting a small space of mine in Markdown, and here’…

I don’t have any plans to leave Anytype, but I think this is a legitimate concern. I agree with @888 that at least the relations should (maybe optionally) be added to the base of each .md file - could be a simple table. Without relations, if I export one of my book collection objects, the export co…

Thanks Anton. love this. going to share it back to the OP on reddit and appreciate you taking the time to respond.

sorry, i would disagree. in general: results matter, not announcements. and as for announcements go – this one is vague at best. let’s take “SQL”: who cares where the data is saved? that’s a technical detail, which no one cares about. (it might be incredibly important, technically, for the develop…

As far as I know, the API functionality for Anytype is under development.-

an API is nice and good but what could my non-tech-savvy relatives do if they want to export their entire vault to human readable files that they can open and use elsewhere? Because of this [image] Export relations data in Markdown as YAML frontmatter Feature Requests it…

[image] krst: I cannot recommend Anytype to anyone who fears they will lose data if Anytype is not there anymore or they want to try something else. sorry, I read the subject from afar and every time someone says that, I ask myself the question… so I ask it. What do you recommend as an appli…
