anytype has e2ee at its core - and you can verify it, since the code is open. can’t say the same for notion.


can confirm - even building on crdts from the ground up in anytype was no small feat. adding them later to a cloud-first product like notion must’ve been a massive lift.. it reshapes the whole architecture. seeing this shift with more providers would definitely be welcome - too many apps still treat offline as optional, not essential


obsidian’s great for solo use, but for team collaboration, anytype is closer to notion-built-in group sync, permissions, and offline support. you don’t need plugins or external services for multi-user editing; it just works across devices


Anytype responds poorly to feedback and bug reports from users, they send LLM slop back for any feedback or bug reports sent to them.


if you’re open to something outside the browser, anytype runs natively on linux. local-first and e2e encrypted by default. you can sync via p2p or through backup nodes. markdown, lists, note-taking all covered - just no browser version yet


great! it's very convenient to try mcp servers with local models that way.

just added the `Add to LM Studio` button to the anytype mcp server, looks nice: https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-mcp
