This looks pretty nice. I use Notion at work and mostly like it but not for personal data because I want everything available to back up on a physical disk. I've been burned too many times with data getting stuck in an inaccessible format when upstream apps get orphaned. Today my primary storage is files on disk in common formats (Markdown, PDFs, JPEGs, etc).
Questions: Is there a way to get at the underlying documents stored in Anytype? Is there any path to a web accessible version for clients too small to host the full dataset? Use case is to host around 50GB of notes, records, and photos in one place.
Currently you can export all files, but there's no way to access them otherwise. They plan on having an API. Right now you're limited to 1GB of storage that they pin on their IPFS node, but they plan to enable self-hosting, i.e., using your own IPFS node.
