I will be honest. I voted for somewhat.
I am torn between the role of a simple user, and the role of bug detective or tester..
As a user, the current Anytype is not catching up to what I need for my note-taking needs.. many of the needs are very basic e.g. date objects and Time..
- With patience, I wait while I search for good alternatives and if those go good enough, my enthusiasm on Anytype implementation is reduced.. e.g. Handwritten notes: I decided to go back to physical paper and it works well and eventually I would have adopted a new lifestyle, then even if Anytype implements it, I might not do a lot of such function..
- Some of the recent updates are good but they just closely miss the important thing for a good workflow..
- As an advocate of relation, the only strong reason other than encryption which empowered the decision to use Anytype before actual launch was definitely relation. Seeing relation is going to be changed, starting from primitive, my enthusiasm reduces.. I can now only hope the temporary depreciation of relation would bring an actual understanding of the current implementation of relation which might later support more features on relation.
As a bug detective and as a tester though, I can see team is working so hard on the many stuff, trying to balance the different needs for different users.. Especially seeing how Anytype is having structural changes every update, I believe team hasn’t got enough appreciation..
- I also miss seeing team’s faces.. we are having less town halls in 2024 and now 2025..
