I use Anytype and like it. I do hope they’ll invest more time into the editing experience — there are a few sharp edges that will probably alienate people coming from more mainstream tools like Google Docs and Notion:

- Typography is a bit weird, especially with headings; there is very little line height on headings, leading to cramped documents.

- Bullet points look weird when you look closely at them. (On Mac, they’re not perfectly circular; perhaps an aliasing issue.)

- Can only use cmd+b and cmd+i for bold and italic when selecting text; can't use them to switch on/off boldness on the cursor.

- Can't specify type when creating a new object with the @ symbol inline (Capacities, a related tool, does).

- Bullet points flicker when you first create them.

- Linking inserts a space even when you don't want it, as does formatting using markdown characters (e.g., providing the closing ** in italics.)

- Relatedly: Entering closing markdown characters (e.g., the second **) does not end the formatting effect (the cursor should not have the formatting applied after they're entered, but it does).

Anytype is overall a fairly polished app. I hope they’ll iron out these editing issues — when they do, it’ll really be exceptional.
