I’ve tried it before, but what turns me off is the weird decentralization that’s sort of black box? Like I have a recovery phrase which I associate with blockchain stuff, and there’s a vague button that says “offload data to our backup node”. And then I seem to have an account with them? The settings mentions deleting an account which is weird, because I thought it was local/lan sync only.

I can’t seem to find where it stores data in a standard format on my local filesystem, so if anytype shuts down how do I migrate?

Basically both on their website and in the app it feels like the concept is all over the place, it can’t decide if it’s local where you own your data, or some sort of weird blockchain decentralized thing where your data just might vanish one day.

For the app itself I can’t figure out how to get an editing/format tool bar like I have in onenote, to change font, size, headings, insert tables, and that sort of thing.

Navigation is also confusing, I created a new note (page?) and now I can only find it in “All Objects” which is just a giant mess of stuff, whereas I’m looking for something like a tab bar with my sections and pages organized in a tree or something like onenote does it.
