What do you need help with? Hi. When I create a shared space and invite people to join and they upload files and media into my space or chat, does this use up my own 100mb storage or only 100mb of their storage or 100mb of everyone individually that joined the shared space? Does it work differently…

you don’t have to pay automatically. I you exceed your quota newly added files that exceed your storage won’t get backed up online by Anytype’s servers and only the people who posted the file will be able to see / retrieve it again. You would then need to tell everyone not to upload so much. They …

penalizing the very people who attract communities to the platform is a surefire way to stunt growth. reddit, discord, youtube asking moderators or creators to pay more as their communities grow, restricting member uploads, or forcing them to self-host instead of rewarding and supporting their effor…

I don’t get the point of any company providing seemingly unlimited free storage just because of “growth”. What is the incentive for anybody to offer that? Who’s paying for the discs, the electricity, and the data centre space? Edit: I do get that it can work temporarily. But certainly it doesn’t in…

for all those mentioned companies, the user is the product. please let us not forget that. I don’t think Anytype can be compared to discord, reddit or youtube.

@krst is absolutely right, YouTube etc. makes money with the ads they deliver to the viewers. AnyType can not (and really should not!) go this way. Nevertheless I dare to suggest to the founders to lower the restrictions for web publishing. Publishing is a good publicity for Anytype, when lots of…

[image] victoruy: so they’re not trying to be a social community platform, then. you can’t pick one aspect of it and say it is a comparable platform it can be used for communities but in other ways, like dokumentation, organization, information management for specific groups. if you rely he…

the aspect we’re talking about is the fundamental driving force for getting people to create public social communities in discord/reddit/facebook groups which is key in the long term vision anytype sells if I remember their speech. thats why I brought up discord. all other parts of the platform is l…

[image] victoruy: so a notion alternative with chat, not a social community platform that is also end to end encrypted, local first, that you can self host which are some of the most important features Anytype is more about autonomy and data ownership. This is where it positions itself espe…

I made this post to know how sharing spaces work for communities, this post was more about how anytype’s model and current pricing structure is the exact antithesis of incentivizing public communities like discord/reddit, which they sold the vision of a year ago. less so the about comparisons to no…

We are discussing, from opposite perspectives, how to make our app MIT-licensed by setting a timer (e.g., 5 years).” It would be hard to sell the organisation which is building anytype as it has a form of association which does not have shareholders. I think the biggest risk is if we do not receive enough material support from our members (customers) to continue development. To reach self-sustainability, we need to acquire 40,000 customers in the next two years, which seems very achievable. A…
