Im so glad to find this video after many hours of searching for a concise overview of Anytype. Many thanks!

I appreciate all these Anytype videos, they are really helpful. When it comes to Collections, I find them really useful. This is how I use them: I created a page for everything work related and within that page I created collections for different types: meeting, task, project, etc. To all my types I use tags to separate them into work or personal. Within the collections I mentioned, I filter the objects so that only the ones relevant to that collection show up. It does mean that whenever you add a new object you have to first select the type relevant for the collection you're in, but I find it useful this way. It also looks great in the graph. It just depends on how you decide to use the tool. I'm also using Logseq for its ability to easily connect everything together, but I'm trying to slowly switch to Anytype only.

THIS is the Anytype tutorial that we need! Thanks for the video

You can go to an object and select "Link to" from the three dots (⋯) in the top right to add that object to an existing collection 👍.

Extremely clear, objective and concise. Thank you very much for demystifying and helping us to understand the structure and logic of the app. In fact, even the diction deserves a big praise (English is not my native language and I had no difficulties for understanding it, the video was even good for me to practice my eng, hahaha)

Dude you are a godsend. Thank you for this video it helped me so much

Very good overall. But in some places the narration is too fast on an important point that more time should be spent on. An example is when the narrator is covering Sets and Object Types. That section of the video had to be replayed and replayed a number of times to catch all the details of what was being covered then.

anytype should pay you. you made more sense to a beginner non techie like me than charlotte from anytype.

Finally! I found a good explanation on anytyoe. Thank you

Keep up the great videos! I think Anytype will be a gamechanger if they can evolve to functionality to keep it competitive. I have been "trying" to use Notion and Craft (and even ClickUp) to create a clean and organized Second Brain system, but there were too many complications for formatting and design with other apps. But Anytype is totally the right tool to beable to take Objects and place/organize them anyway you want! It just makes way more sense. Would love to see a video on how to set up a Second Brain in Anytype.

As far as I can tell, collections are sets that can have more than one object type, but the biggest difference seems to be that collections link notes in the graph where as objects in a set are still orphan. So I use collections more than sets now

Omg this app I really powerfully

This was really helpful, thanks!

I really want to like Anytype and use that instead of Notion. The offline capability is huge plus for me :) But I feel that Anytype is missing a few things like: - Subtasks, how to make them, and view them. I use a lot of subtasks for my projects. So one of the big issues for me. - Formulars, can't find this anywhere and I find the super helpful - Automations, so really looking forward to them releasing the API - and crossing my fingers its easy to use :)

My main gripe with this app is the overall feeling I get when using it. The homepage makes it sound like it's a free tool, but the first thing you see is a "Login or join" screen. The "Account settings" page shows "1GB of free backup space". This very much seems like a tool that is free in the beginning to fish users just to lock them in and change to a paid model. Of course this might be completely wrong, but it's how they present themselves. Also i don't see the obsidian comparison at all. Obsidian's main feature is completely missing: flat files. Anytype is a binary database format. Also while the app itself reacts relatively fast, the startup time is very slow. Obsidian starts instantly and there is no "login" process.

about collections, you said you hadn't found out how to drag things in there, you had to create objects on that page so it would appear in your collection. I found out you can click on link to -> and select the collection you want it to appear on, and its done, you dont need to create a new page :)

This app is a game changer for my PKM workflow

As of now i could convince myself to use this only for one thing : Journalling and maybe Book notes thats it. I am also trying capacities for book notes. Your explaination was on point thank you

There seem to be a number of Notion alternatives at the moment: Anytype; Appflowy and Affine. It would be helpful to have a video highlighting the differences, and so on.

Thanks for the explanation

so im trying to make an object, its a collection with a kanban view with certain tags etc... basically a boiler plate, which is use as a drag and drop for my TODO, WIP, DONE tasks, i have a personal page and a work page. I add an object of my collection but instead of copying a new instance of it, it is linking the boiler plate one, so any new tasks i add are also reflected in the boiler plate object, so if i ever add that boiler plate object to something else its no longer boiler plate, it is now filled with tasks i added from the my personal page... Am i making sense? So I want to create something and then reuse new instances of that object, just how we do in programming.

9:00 Anytype doesn’t allow you to drag existing objects into a collection. You have to keep making new objects within a collection. When I figured this out, it defeats the purpose using it as a Notion sub because I can’t create a database in a database. …still looking for an offline Notion equivalent.

Thank you for your clear explanations. I will take the opportunity to point some some doubts I have on the app. The Android app does not lead me, and I tried various ways, to Book type template with ready made relations, just as the desktop app does. Maybe it has not reached complete compatibility with its desktop counterpart, and therefore unusable?

Can I filter in a set for type "whatever" to see if is in a collection? I don't think you can currently, my thinking is that Collections (hyped to see collections 2.0) are set manually, therefor may be possible to have certain types that you always want to add to a certain collection (to stablish connection in the graph) but you may forgot some, so it would be helpful to know which of those objects are not in there.

Thank you for the explanation. Coming, or got used to use Notion beforehand and *trying to switch to Anytype, I find it quite strange workflow wise. In Notion it is pretty much straightforward when creating or editing table/ database, you can just create any kind type, status, and so on without opening a new window. In Anytype, that kind of workflow is not that fun actually. I believe if Anytype could make that thing easier, that's a huge W.

Could you make a video that involves the process of moving (integrating) from Notion to Anytype, please? That would be so highly appreciated.

thank you

can you have multiple profiles/spaces(not sure what they are called)? I want to have one for personal use, and another for work but can't find a way to do this.

Can the name of an objective (where it says Untitled) be populated by information in the object? Im trying to create an appointment object that links to the client and appointment date (ive got those created). I just don't want to type the same info multiple times.

the only thing i don't understand is relations in the graph. i have object type key, then i have c major and b major of type key, but in the graph they aren't linked, which i thought they would be because they are both type key

Quick question. How can I delete the blank template? I want only one template in a type but the default blank template can’t be deleted .

So collections are like notion databases. Sets are unique

the most annoying thing is that we dont have two way relations
