Their protocol source is available on GitHub. And there's no need to copy the data file between devices, the sync works on your own node (if you can build the setup), on the same lan and on encrypted cloud.
Portable in the sense there is no lock in ie I can get up and leave with my data.
It's a bit hard to do that with anytype.
If they stopped producing features or I wanted my data in another program, I'm stuck with a "Open source" format, but no where to go...
Unless that has changed, then I would take a look again.
Oh, now I got your meaning. There is a feature to export your data. Someone on Reddit said they couldn't export "thousands of notes", but the feature is there. The docs say it. And I used it, but I don't use another app, and don't have thousands of notes yet. It's something to take a look.
You can export your data, but its like exporting your onenote data in PDFs. Your notes will lose the built in functionality and relations.
I believe I'm the noob here, but is it that weird? I mean, in this scenario you're no longer using Anytype, is it really reasonable to expect that all the relations and links you created using it to be transferable to another app? It seems to me like a lot of work to make two different solutions talk to each other so well.What if the other app has a resource you don't want? Or you have a new resource they don't have yet?
Obsidian, logseq, and others work natively with markdown files that are almost cross-compatible and can be edited and used in any text editor. Things like back linking may not be present in that case (of using a plain text editor) but it doesn’t disappear from the file.
Roam uses a proprietary format but exports to markdown.
