Anytype. FOSS Notion Alternative

What is this?

I see decentralized, I think crypto scam. I see a Notion-like screenshot, I think Notion clone. Decentralized communities, I think social network?

Imagine having to explain this to an end user… you need help with copywriting urgently. Even in the early technical stages, it’s just as important as launch day. Because I have no idea what this product is supposed to be.

Decentralized tech is wonderful when it doesn't involve crypto or a blockchain. Crypto gave it a bad name but Jami, SyncThing, and BitTorrent are still great.

Not yet.

Also earlier they were going to build in some sort of web3 storage, looks like they switched to local first now.

There seems to be zero lines of code written? There are 32 repos in their github, but none with the actual product. Am I missing something?

It’s some kind of weird pseudo open source, where the sources are not public, but you have to join their community and meet and greet before you can get access.

The marketing site is nicely made and actually quite unusual
