Comment on Anytype Selfhosted

Portable in the sense there is no lock in, I can get up and leave with my data. It’s a bit hard to do that with anytype if they stopped producing features or I wanted my data in another program.

Oh, now I got your meaning. There is a feature to export your data. Someone on Reddit said they couldn’t export “thousands of notes”, but the feature is there. The docs say it. And I used it, but I don’t use another app, and don’t have thousands of notes yet. It’s something to take a look.

You can export your data, but its like exporting your onenote data in PDFs. Your notes will lose the built in functionality and relations.

I believe I’m the noob here, but is it that weird? I mean, in this scenario you’re no longer using Anytype, is it really reasonable to expect that all the relations and links you created using it to be transferable to another app? It seems to me like a lot of work to make two different solutions talk to each other so well.What if the other app has a resource you don’t want? Or you have a new resource they don’t have yet?
