Some folks misunderstood my earlier post and came away thinking we’re planning to shut down Anytype. That’s not true—and I’m sorry for the confusion my wording caused.
What I meant to say is that we’re currently struggling under the weight of legacy infrastructure and unfinished features. For context, we only just recently shut down backend systems that were still supporting the 2019 version of Anytype (!). Maintaining backwards compatibility with multiple outdated versions takes at least 10x the effort compared to building cleanly from scratch.
We’re not talking about launching a brand-new product. The idea we floated internally was to potentially create a streamlined version of the current app—same core principles, just without the baggage. In practice, that could mean removing certain legacy features and making the migration path one-way. But let me be absolutely clear: this is just one option among many, and there are no current plans to go down that road.
For now, we’re committing the next three months to fixing bugs and improving the current experience. I’ll be posting soon to gather feedback on what matters most to the community—what must be fixed, what’s most frustrating—and we’ll focus all our effort there. After that, we’ll reevaluate.
Thanks again for your patience and support. We’re not abandoning this project. Quite the opposite—we’re trying to save it from collapsing under its own weight.
