Filmmaker looking for help to make fresh videos about Anytype

What do you need help with?

Hi all,

[I posted something similar as a reply in another thread, so apologies if this counts as cross-posting.]

I’m a filmmaker, and have been checking out Anytype for a long while. I still find myself pretty lost and frustrated, and I think some fresh new tutorial videos would greatly help newcomers and others like me.

If you’re an Anytype expert, and would be willing to spare some time to get on an audio or video call with me, please let me know!

I imagine this would take a few hours, spread out over a few days.

For what it’s worth, I am a working filmmaker, and think I can do a good job of breaking things down and explaining them.

I’m in the US [Utah / Mountain Time], so please take that into consideration so that we can sync up our availabilities.

Thanks!

Hi @arashayrom! That’s exciting that you want to make new tutorials. :slightly_smiling_face: The community is in always in need of other styles of teaching and creative use cases for Anytype.

Since a deep dive over several days is a significant time commitment, an easier ask would be to give an outline of what you are trying to create and gather feedback here in the forum. For example - I have a meal planning database in Notion that I want to recreate in Anytype, what should I make a type vs a property?

And FYI before you get invested in a specific organization structure, see Collections 2.0 Architecture—changing how we use types.

@Curie is being humble, but she has a lot of great videos explaining Anytype on her channel. It’s definitely worth checking out: Focused Curiosity - YouTube

Thanks. I’ve seen both of your videos on Youtube, but I can only say that I’m still pretty much in the dark with Anytype. The pain points may not be immediately obvious to you who are insiders / experts, which is why I’m attempting to approach this from my viewpoint / perspective, which I believe will be one shared by many others in the same boat.

I always appreciate this kind of approach, but I have one concern. Since Anytype is still in beta, even if you make a perfect tutorial, it might become outdated before long.

Definitely a concern. I would try to structure the videos in such a way that I can update sections as needed without needing to redo the entire thing. Of course, if the updates are major (as we’ve seen this past year), then it may need a bigger redo.

I’m interested enough in Anytype to be willing to put in the work.
