We got some great news in the last town hall which included some items on the roadmap of Anytype; mainly the release of API and the subject of this post, Sets/Collection 2.0. I thought it would be helpful for the community and the devs to come together in shaping the future experience of sets/colle…

Manual Set Sort (BIGGEST ONE). Sets should have the ability to move objects in the set freely if there is no filter applied. New items added to the set should be placed at the bottom or the top. Background object coloring. So in something like a grid view, I should be able to set the color of the b…

I’ve just figured out how to do this. (After a couple of realizations) The first realization is that you can make a set based on a relation, instead of an object type (before now, I thought a set could only be made up of the same object types but if you do it by relation and then filter it, you can…

I forgot one last one! And I’m thinking about it again because it’s causing me problems… On the Gallery view, add a Cover = “Content” option for the image! Examples : to create recipes / travel diary / movies / bar , you put an image of the dish/country/movie/bottle in the card. In gallery view…

I’d also like it to be easier to copy and paste things from Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel. And Vice versa, so I can copy the data from a grid view in Anytype into a spreadsheet

One Other thing that comes to my mind is that for collections, we can have some sort of automations. I mean, I know that currently we can have the option to create a set with a basic relation such as “last modified date”, and populate each view with a more custom ones. But it would be nice to have t…

I had this draft saved for a while, seems I forgot to post it months ago Match Inline set and Set (have changes in either reflect in the other, like with transclusions) Currently not so relevant, but once split-screen/tab view is implemented then dragging objects into Collections would be nice A …

For now, please just bring back the option to use empty Object Type as a set, so we can again use tabs with different objects. Latest beta took this away from us. 0.42.28

Can’t take it anymore? In the 0.42.27 version, I can still do it. Always in a totally counter-intuitive way, as if the team wanted to hide it… but we can.

Yeah, i still have some sets that use it, but it seems to be impossible to do in the latest beta versions.

What do you want to be added in Sets/Collections v2?

I would love to be able to have a hiearchy level inside Sets and Collections (similar as in Tree view in the widgets). This would allow me to build complete engineering BOMs (Bill of Material) for my mechanical and electronic projects. There are some Requests already running for this:
