Stumbled on this program called Anytype a while ago, a note-taking application similar to Notion. It’s surprisingly well polished and works for me.

They have a lot of aspects which seem like they’d appeal to more privacy-conscious people. Plus decentralization should appeal to Lemmings of course. But as far as I’m aware I’ve never heard anyone talk about this program. I was wondering if this is just due to obscurity, or if there are reasons it’s not often recommended.

    I am trying this program on mobile and Mac but am hesitant to try on windows as the virus total scan is coming back positive for 2 hits. Any concerns there?

        The community can only read the source code, as of yet. All of the source code has been provided by a set of internal developers.

        The fact that it is open source means that, if somehow two malware elements have made it into the source code, then someone will eventually report it. But this doesn’t mean that two malware elements cannot be there right now.

        These two malware hits on total virus scan should be communicated to the developers.

          Totally agree, FOSS doesn’t mean immune from malice. I saw some articles talking about a signing issue but that was years ago. Odd they haven’t addressed it in that amount of time.
