Oh, my bad, so Lotus Notes and Lotus Agenda are two different software. Strange that two (or more?) big software projects of the past both have Lotus in their name.

Good to know Anytype is way better than Lotus Notes despite what people claim. We really are living in the golden age of software. Anytype has enough good ideas that it might turn out to be the one that outlasts all the others, who knows.

I don’t find Anytype entirely intuitive for my use case though. For example, I don’t need to see all books I’ve ever listed, but need the mention of some books to be part of another whole. Eg. a specific class that lasts 6 months. So I can neither use “class” nor “book” types to really capture what I’ll need for the next 6 months. That’s something Airtable is better suited for.

Also, not sure why they call the items “objects” when they really mean “type” and it’s even in their name.
