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 just found this yesterday so I cannot properly give a review on it, but I found Logseq which seems to be a privacy-focused knowledge management and collaboration platform. It seems very promising and reminds me somewhat of Obsidian

      I’ve been using it for several months by now, I keep everything synced with Syncthing and it’s been working really well. Android app is still rough around the edges but it does work alright.

      My understanding is it was developed as an answer to Roam Research specifically, and while its model might not work for everyone, I love it.

      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.

      I tried looking for where the company developing Logseq was located and couldn’t find any information at all. The only thing I found was this in the T&C
