What an aweful first impression this page delivers. And why is the download-page linked at the blog, but not on the main-page? What is that sketchy ploy with 700 "choosen" users each month? Is this project scam? Or just incredible poor marketing?

Anyway, it seems to sell another graph-based knowledge-base-system working with markdown-files and electron, but with a more Notion-based interface. So what should this give over obsidian.md or logseq? Why marketing it now, when it still seems to be in alpha? Is there a company behind this? Talking about co-owned seems pretty sketchy. Where is the money-game here?

And what is with this upload and sync part? Upload where to?

I agree the webpage is unclear. The marketing is poor. We'll fix that. It’s not markdown based, it’s wider. If you are interested to try you can download it at download.anytype.io and use the invitation code - hn
