How does it compare to Obsidian.md?
For further reference: https://anytype.io/ is the actual project page.
Having used it for a bit, it feels more like a Notion alternative than an Obsidian competitor. For instance, it isn’t based on Markdown and pages aren’t directly accessible on the OS filesystem (there’s some sort of pseudo-cloud storage thing going on). Its Sets and Collections feel like a different take on Notion’s databases. Some of the default examples loaded into the app are a task tracker and a movie list, two things I use Notion for right now. I’m sure there’s some feature overlap with Obsidian, but that doesn’t seem like Anytype’s primary goal.
I see. I would like to see a FOSS alternative to Obsidian but its ecosystem with plugins and such is way too useful for me as a writer, roleplayer and gamemaster that I really can't replace it with anything else. But Anytype isn't it then. Thanks for the comparision.
been testing trillium the last couple of days and it feels great.
It's actually Trilium, with one L.
Never heard of it before and wanted to take a look, very difficult to find it with two Ls, as that's the name of some large corporate software platform thing (and a flower) 😅
Does Trilium have community plugins like Obsidian? I've fallen head over heels for Obsidian quite recently, and the plugins are a large part of it.
I'm more than a year into using a Trilium instance at home and another at work for taking notes and keeping track of various information.
I love it love it love it, maybe especially at work, but I am certain I use only a tiny fraction of its capabilities.
I used it for years before moving to Obsidian, Trillium’s great. I’m thinking of going back, the web app was a really nice feature that I’m surprised is still missing in Obsidian.
