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!

    What’s the weird fetish with open source projects deliberately choosing closed source corporate-hosted proprietary public Git hosting sites?

    Just because source is available does not mean it’s an open source license. It’s still proprietary, free to use for non-commercial use only.

    Is there a description of what this is and what it is for for dumdums? I don’t really get what it is from the website.

      It’s a direct competitor to Notion, but also other knowledge management apps (Obsidian, Evernote, etc.)

      It’s a more advanced note taking app, like apple notes, logseq, obsidian, notion, etc. aka PKMS (Personal Knowledge Management System).

      It’s a note taking app. A bit like logseq but 100% open source.

      I just wish collaboration wasn’t a year away.

          logseq is open source, but not their sync backend. You can use syncthing, but I would prefer that the native sync would be open.

              Just to clarify the entire Logseq app is open source including the sync mechanism, the server backend to receive the sync endpoint and store the data isn’t. I use Syncthing (FOSS and cross platform) to sync noted between my devices.
