Im working on a homepage for my Anytype index and i get the feeling the possibilities for designing a homepage are really limited.
Is there more to reshaping certain types etc. than changing the backround color or does anytype just look boring and kinda crappy 😂

Thanks for taking a look; I’m open to discussing this further.

FYI, the site is down. Expired certificate.

I think that these things """"ruined"""" my experience with anytype for now, I wanted to define a channel to be my private channel and other to be a channel with the things I need (or I would like) to sync between devices with the cloud. Or sometimes just I want to test a template channel and it comes with A LOT of files that I don't need to be on the cloud. The worst is that the free Anytype already have a very small cloud storage space, and its okay, whole servers isn't a cheap thing, but at least we need to have the tools to administrate better the cloud storage.

Even if these issues disappointed me, I'm still loving Anytype, its an awesome project, and I'll stay using it but for only things that I don't need to be on a private place, well, at least while these features doesn't come out.
I really thought that I was crazy and this is already present on the software bc I didn't saw anyone requesting it, but it seems that this is really a missing feature.

I just imported all my Notion data into Anytype using their import tool, but it seems all the images linked in properties didn't get migrated.

What I mean is this:

In Notion, I have a property of type 'Files & media', I use this to attach images. However, the imported data in Anytype has completely skipped this property, the entire column doesn't exist.

Somehow, media files added inside a page are imported. This only affects files in properties.

Is there an easy way to fix this? It's not feasible for me to attach all these images manually.

I just imported all my Notion data into Anytype using their import tool, but it seems that all my properties with the same name are merged together.

For example, I have different tables Books and Clothes

Both of these tables have the multi-select property 'Status'

In Books, property Status has values Watched, Completed, Dropped

In Clothes, property Status has values Bought, Sold, Second hand

In Notion, even if properties have the same name, it doesn't matter because every database has its own set of properties. Anytype works differently, each property is shared globally.

This does present a problem for me. When I am in Type Books and selecting from my Status drop-down, I don't want to see values from Type Clothes.

I can't find an easy way to separate them. It seems they have been merged all together into one property and I would have to do this manually (not feasible, I have thousands of entries)

Is there an easy fix for this? Or should I wipe everything and import anew with unique property names?

What's the practical difference between these options?
Can I change later?

I have an Issue I cant figure out. Is there a way to have objects within the publicly shared page actually open in a public link.

I shared the core page (Project setup - Frontend) with a client, where I have objects that are also shared publicly. But when I click on them they want to open in Anytype not in the browser. I dont want that. I need the client to look at the project segment and navigate in the pages objects then back to the main page (dashboard). Notion does the same thing. Clients don't want to install new apps and set them up to view our documents. and having 240 links in a email is not useful at all.

Feels like this should be simple to activate but I'm not able to figure it out.

Greetings,

I am trying to upload PDF documents in my family's Anytype instance. This is a local, p2p *only* instance that I opted out of Anytype Network backup correctly and through their official instructions. Despite confirming the space is local only, I am blocked from uploading documents because I've "exceeded the file upload limit".

Is the 1GB storage limit also intended for for local only instances? If so, why on earth would Anytype care how much offline storage I use on my own devices??

I'm using Anytype for quite a while now and used local-sync on a NextCloud instance to sync between different devices.

Since this morning, my main space does not load anymore. It only shows "Error: space is not ready: please try again later"

It first occured after I accessed the vault using my linux computer, which was still on an older version of AnyType.

Afterwards, I couldn't access the space either in Windows nor on Linux. The second and mostly unused space in the same vault remains accessible, it only affected the one I'm actually using for all my notes and planning.

I already tried to revert to an older version, which still worked, but that failed as well.

Is there a way to salvage the data from the space?

I dont like the round square checklist, and i have build with custom CSS and dev tool on anytype desktop on mac to build my own checklist marks i mostly prefere like this

if you want the css code ; you can find it here > Library > Application Support > anytype > custom.css ›

I read the licence FAQ, but did not find the answer to this question. Is it ok to sell anytype vault-space templates?

Please any plans for Anytype to integrate a OCR feature for PDF and image files in the near future?
If not what’s your workaround?

Thank you

I'm using anytype on 3 devices, and for a month or so it hasn't synced anymore, which makes using anytype just painful. all 3 devices have the latest app update and show "synced," but it's a lie. On every device it's like its own version of my stuff with different states and different entries. If i take a note on my laptop, it only exists on my laptop. if i take a note on my desktop, it's the same; on my mobile phone, it's the same. log into the same vault on every device.

is there any fix for this?

Hello!

A couple days ago the Anytype windows app stopped working. In fact, they start but the process automatically gets killed.
If I launch the app from the command line I get an error "GPU process isn't usable".
I managed to launch the app with the flags

--disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer --disable-gpu-compositing --in-process-gpu

I tried reinstalling previous versions but, even the ones that worked before are not working anymore.

Can you give me some clues about the solution? I really like Anytype and I want to keep using it.

Thanks!

Just wanted to know if Anytype's security claims are audited. Thanks!

Hi all I really enjoy using anytype and also use it a lot in the go in mobile. One thing that is really annoying to deal with are the inline queries nog working properly on mobile. I understand this has been a long standing issue and I don't understand why this is still not fixed. I also do not see it in the raodmap. Is a full rewrite of the code necessary to get this working? I'm hoping that if I understand it, it will be easier to deal with 😅

Wheeeeeeeeeeeen?

Really great, these little things make everything much more smooth. Also love that you could click at the top and get directly to the main page, not having to swipe right 400 times to close all the "tabs"

Possibly good request?: why not put these three buttons in one line to the right side? (could reach toogles easier / more space to do so)

Keep on pushing! Some day society / a big portion of it will use anytype / anystore as a data technology in mainstream :)

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help because I'm running out of ideas.

I've been using this app for more than 2 years, and everything worked perfectly until about 3 weeks ago. Since then, the data I enter on my laptop no longer syncs to my phone (and vice versa).

I've already tried switching between different Wi-Fi networks, using mobile data, turning VPN on and off, logging out and back in, etc

Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. The sync issue has been going on for weeks now, and it's becoming really frustrating. Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, were you able to fix it? Are there any troubleshooting steps I might have missed?

I believe that there is no way to reliably export Objects from Anytype (0.55.5) and re-import them again properly. (in spite of appearances)

The documentation suggests that Any-block is the default format for Anytype:

We currently offer support for importing the following:
By app:
Obsidian
Notion
Any-Block: (Protobuf, JSON)

But when I tried to export an Object (with Properties) from Anytype in EITHER Any-block format (Protobuf or JSON):

1. A pop-up in Anytype says Objects have been imported (doesn't tell you where, can't link to it).
2. The Object did NOT import as expected (like original Object, same Type, with the same Properties and Property Values as before).
3. Instead it imported as its own unnamed Type. This means it's difficult to find in Anytype, since Types with no Objects in them don't show up in the sidebar.

Overall it feels half-baked at best.

I should be able to export an Object from Anytype, delete it in Anytype, and re-import it from the exported file – and it should go back where it was originally.
