First impressions of anytype

Hi @Missionary, thanks for sharing your first impression! Always good to see there are multiple pros in the list of first impressions :slight_smile: .

I’m linking some existing bug reports and feature requests so you can check them out and add a vote for the ones you like. Additionally, I’ll indicate where you could create your own bug reports of feature requests.



This is a known issue:


Could you make a screen recording of this, with the mouse clicks visualized if possible, and file that in a bug report? I haven’t seen anything similar on the forum, so you might have found a new bug.


This is a known issue with tags. For a comprehensive list of (other) issues with tags, check out:


Is this request similar enough?


Hold tight! This is coming (very) soon! See also Sprint Review (40) - News & Announcements / Road Map - Anytype Community.


Not possible yet, but requested here:


You are in for a treat. Version 0.28.0 is about to drop and this is listed in the release notes:

As your expectation is quite generic, I’ll share a search query that could help you narrow down your wishes :slight_smile: . Feel free to submit feature requests for anything you think is missing in the existing requests.


This is definitely a new one, but hey, why not support emoji in tags? I think it is a great idea! I invite you to submit a feature request for that. Feel free to DM me if you need some help with that :slight_smile: .


I think it is due to the nature of how data is stored in the Anytype database (and most database systems) that changing the low-level type of an Object is challenging. For example, going from a Relation of Type “Tag” to “Text” should be quite easy (just treat the content of the tag as text, done!). Going from Text to, let’s say, a number is a lot harder! Maybe I didn’t get your point, so let me know if that is the case!


You mean something like a table of contents, or more something like the little overview apps like VS Code offer when scrolling to indicate where you are on the page?



Looking forward to your thougts on my follow-up!
