🧠My thoughts about AnyType and How I Learned It Quickly

  • how anytype store pages?
  • sets vs collections?
  • how to create a database ?
  • how to create Folder?
  • how it connects pages?
  • why it use programming naming rather than everyday words [collections, sets, object, graph, relations, type, space, ...]?

πŸŽ› AnyType Categories

  • Groups :

    • Set : filtered by one Object type (notes...)
    • Collections: organize a variety of different objects types and store them in one place.
  • Objects: page, books, Notes...

πŸ—„ Object In AnyType

  • At Anytype we have created the concept that everything you create is an Object. Pages, Notes, Recipes, Books, Movies, Audio, Humans, everything!
  • These are all Objects that are organized and categorized by Types.
  • You can connect different Types by Relations and see how this is visualized on the Graph.

✏ Blocks

  • Your object is made up of different types of blocks to organize your information, and the place where all of these Blocks live together is called the Canvas. Anytype's block-based editor works very similarly to that of blogging sites or website builders.

Types

  • Types are the classification system we use to categorize Objects
  • Every object has a Type, which is defined at the time of Object creation (and can be changed later)
  • Different Types are used to define Objects which are categorically different from each other
  • examples of Types you might have in your graph:Task,Note, Book, Movie, Idea

Relations

-Relations are key to organizing and connecting your Objects and knowledge in Anytype. There are two functions that Relations serve in Anytype

  • Defining attributes: You can use Relations to define the characteristics of a certain Object.
    • For example, when creating a Task in Anytype, you can add Relations such as Status: Done/Not Done, or Priority: Low, Medium, or High.
    • If we were to imagine a database, Relations represent the column headers to each row (where column A is the Object).
    • Once you have set your attributes, it becomes possible to sort and filter your Objects according to the Relations you've defined in Set View.
  • Defining connections: You can also use Relations to link one Object to another.
    • Returning to the example of a Task, you can add the Relation: Assignee, and assign another Object in your Anytype to this task.
    • As above, you can view the Assignees as Relations in Set view, or in Graph view.

πŸ—„ Set In AnyType

  • A live search of all Objects which share a common Type or Relation
  • Sets don't store Objects like regular databases.
  • Sets serve two primary functions: Organizing and Accessing Objects and Editing Objects quickly.
  • to find all pages where type is Notes, Create a Set based on Type which will display every Note you've created in Anytype.
  • If you have specific notes you'd like to frequently access, you can filter them based on Relations you've added to these notes using Set.
  • set : For instance: Creation Date, Tags, or Priority. (In this sense, Relations behave like attributes).
  • You can then pin your Set to your Favorites menu, where it will sit on your Sidebar, acting like a folder for all Objects that meet certain criteria.
  • Sets also provide a way to quickly edit Objects in a list View.
  • You can use multi-select Objects in Sets to delete multiple Objects at once, or to batch update the Object Type. Any Relations added to a Set in the Relation Menu (top right), will be adopted by all new Objects created with the "+ New Object" button.
  • Toggle & Add Relations to Objects via Sets :
    • Instead of adding Relations one-by-one to Objects, you can batch-add them to your Set by clicking the filters on the right side.
    • Here you can toggle on/off any Relations that you would like to see, add another Relation or new relation, and edit the View of the Set here.
    • You can add any Relations to be automatically added to your Objects, by adding them in the creation process of your Type.

πŸ“ Collections

  • A folder-like structure where where you can visualize and batch edit objects of any type
  • These are similar to Sets in their appearance and layout, however functioning differently.
  • Contrary to Sets, Collections are not filtered by Object Type but are in fact open to any Object Type.
  • Collections can be used to organize a variety of different objects and store them in one place.
  • You are not restricted to viewing only one Object Type at a time, this means you can have multiple different types within one collection.
  • In a Collection, you can organize all of this Types together seamlessly.
