Notes

  • Anytype is focused on things like wikis, chat, forums, etc
  • Organised via β€œspaces”, which are encrypted DAGs
  • local-first = data at your fingertips
  • local-first social = social graph at your fingertips
    • Thier protocol on this idea is called β€œno one in-between”
    • Makes spaces user-owned and controlled by creators
    • Delegate host costs while maintaining privacy
    • Fast & scalable
    • Native mobile
  • Everything signed cryptographically (Ed25519)
  • Encrypted with AES
  • Security model: access control list (on a blockchain)
    • This point of onlinem logic centralisation is very pragmatic but IMO breaks the lofi promise
      • You have to take the least upper bound of the consistency guarantees, but they put strict linearizabilty on the hot path
