My deal breakers:
- (As others have noted) - My data stored in a format I can get OUT easily, read easily, etc. I won’t move fully into anything that “traps” me and my data / files / information.
- No Evernote Import / Broken HTML import. I’m currently using Evernote and would like to move some things over - however; there is no Evernote Import tool AND basic HTML import has the MASSIVE bug that it does not import images. Import HTML doesn't import image
- “Lazy Data Input” - Easy, no friction options for getting content in with quick tags, not having to decide where it goes, etc. Then the possibility to move it around, organize latter. AND a robust search to find things I may not have organized. Why I switched back to Evernote (from Notion/Obsidian) and why Anytype should care!
- I need a web clipper.
Not quite deal breakers; but constant, annoying friction for me:
- Cover and Thumbnail images are still a real pain to set if the image you want is already on the page.
- No way to rename an image in the app (so again, dealing with covers / thumbnails is tedious.)
- Toggle format is so limited. (I want headings and other text to also be able to toggle expanded / collapsed.)
- Formating a link into a heading truncates the text (WHY!??!).
- Tag options are really powerful / flexible. HOWEVER their current implementation is clunky to use. I either end up with a MASSIVE list of tags that shows up on everything; or I create many tag relations for each category of item. (ie - a “Recipe Tags” relation and a “School Tags” relation and a “Health Tags” relation… etc. ). Some sort of tag hierarchy or tag relation manager would be a great help. (And assist with my point #3 above.).
