In that case, why do the notes only sync when the devices are on the same local network?
I’ll install the app later to see what actually is going on, as this makes little sense to me.
EDIT: from their website:
No server, no gatekeeper: peer-to-peer sync on local networks
But from their FAQ:
Anyone can get started with Anytype, free of charge. If you self-host your data, Anytype is and will always be free to use. For those who use our backup services, you can use Anytype up to 1GB of storage for free. If you need more, please contact us.
So in other words: you can use your own devices with p2p, but they also offer a centralized cloud (which they host) for those who do not want the hassle.
Sounds slightly misleading at first, but all is fine if they properly warn the user in the app.
Thank you. I’ve been looking at their self hosting documentation, which appears to still be a centralized solution, just under your ownership.
The way they handle accounts is rather nice, nothing new, you see it in Joplin and the likes, but it is definitely better than having an unencrypted account on a company-owned server.
That’s just my interpretation of their sales pitch. I might very well be wrong on some terms, but I feel that it’s good to discuss and getting these things written down in the comment sections. So thank you for indulging me. :)
