The Anytype team has achieved soooooo much in 2023, it’s pretty amazing to think about the difference between Anytype a year ago and today (thank you team, we love you )
Now, there are a lot of Feature Requests on this forum, and even though there are vote counts, priorities and needs change over time. I know that personally, my most critical feature request isn’t the same today as it was 8 months ago, before starting to use Anytype every day.
So let’s share here what our top 3 requests are for the coming year. If possible, link your requests to the Feature Request post so folks can vote!
Quality of Life features. There are so many main huge features that really need quality of life updates. For example: selecting an already uploaded image from any image block, renaming inline sets without changing the source set name, ability to sort widget content (like A-Z, last used, custom), etc.
Feature parity with mobile
Adding all those coming soon features advocated on this forum and the website like grouping in sets.
So true when we talk about how far the app got to here. I believe that Anytype has evolved in a manner that is way too much faster than any other app I have ever used.
Can’t imagine the efforts and hours spent on these features and bug fixes.
I’ve reached a state of “no problem, this will get implemented eventually, no need to request this feature now”, I know deep down inside that Anytype team has planned for almost every single feature or bug implementation, it’s just a matter of time before it goes live.
Sometimes new features are introduced even tho I haven’t thought about and I go thinking that “how could they have known that this is much needed while I haven’t paid attention to that fact ”
I’m satisfied with the current state of Anytype (and satisfied with every release that come up next).
That being said, here are my top 3 (forget that “satisfied” thingy ):
Some sort of a whiteboard or a canvas object
Some sort of a whiteboard or a canvas object
And last one, some sort of a whiteboard or a canvas object
As for the 3rd item, I hope we get to see embedded blocks along with transclusion. What I mean is the ability to copying and using the link to a block inside anytype, but also the ability to show it as some type of preview. This way we can see and interact with the block completely in another object.
Love where Anytype is at the moment and continues to get better with each update but I would be SO happy to see these three come to it this year or at least confirmed.
Any honorable mentions would be like full table functionality with formulas and merging cells, or to apply a template to an existing object and recurring tasks.
wow, it’s amazing how Anytype has progressed from a prototype to a production-ready replacement for popular note apps and PIMs like Evernote or Apple Notes, in such a short time. And the team’s discipline and vision behind is even more amazing. Thank you for you brilliant hard work!
As you ask, my wish list would be:
inline objects, for more lively task lists, diaries, book collections, etc
I presume these 3 suggestions might be more petite than some other wishes, and I can see the opportunity for Anytype to offer a fully fledged replacement for Notion, Obsidian, and most PLMs, which I’d totally love to be possible — and this might also tap into another strong business case for Anytype, based on a much deeper vision… and I see Anytype’s enormous capability to develop in this direction.
Yet, knowing the perils of scope creep and Hofstadter’s law, I hope to be as humble as possible with my wishes, in order to rather contribute to a mature substitute for huge natural competitors such as Evernote, Apple Notes, Google Keep, or Ulysses soon (and with a much greater potential and vision), than perceiving Anytype as “having to be” everything for everyone from the start.
Having said this… the ability to (1) elegantly manage projects, and (2) publish Anytype pages to the web e.g. for a blog, documentation, photo sharing, or online e-book project would tap into yet another market where I see Notion very well positioned… and where I’d love Anytype to become the leader here one day or much sooner.
And then there’s the entire realtime collaborative editing market where I see the Anytype team heading, replacing Google Docs and/or WhatsApp… and this seems totally within reach with what the team has created so far. Anytype would be well-deserved and a badly needed revolution here
(thank you team, we love you
