Super excited about the https://anytype.io/en onboarding even though it started in the middle of the night for me.
@pallenberg
At this stage the concept sounds very "buzzwordy". Last time I heard the phrase digital assets was in the context of NFTs and we all know how that went.
That and the "welcome-to-crypto" repo on their GitHub, huge red flags 🚩🚩🚩
Nope, not touching that.
@hirnsushi it has nothing to do with NFTs, crypto or blockchain at all. You got a totally wrong impression
- The mentioned repo literally starts with "Welcome to Crypto (by Anytype)" (https://github.com/anytypeio/welcome-to-crypto)
- The business model (according to https://vision.anytype.io/) sounds like a DAO/Ethereum:
"[…] if one wants to participate in a digital cooperative they must hold a stake in the cooperative - these could be digital certificates, or payment of special fees […]
The value generated by cooperative participants will be distributed among all contributors who make the system work."
- And their manifest (https://anytype.io/en/manifesto) is full of crypto buzzwords:
"With Anytype we are building a software that will allow people to self-organise, protect their privacy and freedom of speech and own what they create - all without an intermediary.
[…]
We have a chance to end the nation state's monopoly on trust the same way as the printing press ended the church’s monopoly on truth."
It might not contain crypto now, but I have a bad feeling about where this is headed, and I don't trust it.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't have a look at the code once it's available to see how useful it is on its own.
@hirnsushi well I had the chance to join an hour long session with them and their products. As soon as crypto and a blockchain is involved, I'm out. We share the same position here
I've been using #Logseq for a few months now and really like it, great to quickly offload the brain.
They did however close a $4.1M seed round last year, with some crypto/web3 influence in the mix (https://blog.logseq.com/logseq-raises-4-1m-to-accelerate-growth-of-the-new-world-knowledge-graph/). Let's hope rational minds prevail when the time comes to monetize it.
Otherwise it's getting forked 😏
It already has a lot of supporters on OpenCollective and they will offer paid sync and publish.
@post interesting. Thx guys! @hirnsushi
@post thank you so much. Will check it out @hirnsushi
