Hello, I’m Roman and I’m a technical co-founder at Anytype. We are building a new operating environment that breaks down barriers between apps and gives back privacy and data ownership to users.

Anytype runs locally and exchanges data directly in a peer-to-peer way without exposing it to intermediaries even when users work across devices and with each other. Because of this, Anytype is free without storage and upload limits. We plan to open-source it with the public release.

This is our early demo and I’d like to get feedback on what we are building, so we can incorporate it into Anytype. Also, if you have any questions, I’d love to answer them.

Looks neat, but a few thoughts...

The video is from January, what changed since then?

I still only see a Get early access option linking to typeform, and no actual download/signup.

> We plan to open-source it with the public release

If it'll be open source, why not open source it now?

Also, according to: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.

I'm glad you liked the video.

Yes, it's from January and it was based on our prototype.

Now we re-built it from scratch and invited first 100+ users who are currently using Anytype and giving us a lot of feedback.

We are inviting alpha testers regularly from our community channel on telegram.

As a lot of things change (we re-wrote Anytype from scratch just recently), we want to open source with open beta.

Yes, I think it was a mistake to have Show in the submission

It is indeed in a closed test process right now, with onboarding new testers regularly. I think the selection is random from the pool of people who have filled out their interest forms on Telegram.

This looks really nice! I'll definitely register to the waitlist.

Can you tell us more about your business model?
