Anytype has finally followed through on their promise and open sourced their repositories. Self hosting is now possible though there is no docker container available.

This is a major step forward for all PKMS and I wholeheartedly congratulate them.

btw Anytype is free, even their included sync service, which is the best of any offline-first style PKMS I have experienced. Anytype is top 3 PKMS for me, followed by Logseq and SiYuan. They’re in good company and now it’s only going to improve!

    I just tested it and it looks amazing. I wonder if there are any templates for a Bullet Journal. This software is insane feature-wise, a lot of things to play with.

      I’d definitely suggest Logseq over Anytype for a bullet journal type use case - and the good news is since they’re both free you can still use anytype for anything else. I’m currently a logseq backer and it’s my main, but I discovered SiYuan recently and it’s absolutely fantastic as well. I had been using Anytype before I switched to logseq but it lacks transclusion.

      IMO Anytype is better for managing projects while Logseq is better for your typical PKMS, creating a knowledge base and journaling. In terms of task management, logseq edges out anytype though they both have pros and cons, but nothing you can’t work around.

        Wow, last time I checked logseq it was not that good. I hope they introduce their Logseq Sync eventually.

          I didn’t like it the first time I used it either. I’m a backer to get access to the sync beta. I would say that anytype’s sync is far superior - I can type stuff on two different devices in the same line and it very easily handles the multiple inputs nearly simultaneously. Logseq doesn’t do such a good job - there’s a lot of work to do there. SiYuan is the worst of all for syncing and also the most expensive.
