You can import all the underlying data from Notion using the Obsidian Importer plugin, however I believe that Notion's Databases export only includes a CSV. So you'll need to recreate the views to be able to interact with them dynamically.

I see. I just tried the Notion import on the latest version of Anytype, and they now seem to be able to import Notion databases, which is useful.

They use the Notion API though, not any export option that Notion offers.

Neat! Is the 'import from notion' functionality able to convert Notion databases to this?

I wish I could get the specs of the time 2 in the design of the 2 duo, this just looks very generic to me design wise.

The 2 duo is at least a little bit fun aesthetically, but I would like a heart rate monitor if I’m gonna be wearing a smart watch.

This looks really nice!

I’m currently looking for a nice implementation of stroke expansion (here called outlining) that I can run in the browser, this seems like a good option besides skia (pathkit)[0] and vello/kurbo[1].

Ideally I’d love to be able to expand in a non-uniform way, similar to what Metafont does for bitmap fonts, or what Inkscape allows with its power stroke effect, or even just with a non-uniform ‘nib’ as is possible with FontForge[2].

This doesn’t seem to be something that these bezier libraries generally offer which is understandable, probably a rather niche goal.

So the whole of GitHub is now seen primarily as an AI platform?

I recently looked and bought into the DJ tech today. I know mixxx, used it many times. And Rekordbox isn't perfect either. But you can't even compare. If the one is Dj Software, mixxx right now, is just a music player with DJ theme

I’d be interested to know what the main differences are

snake case convention is the only thing that always feels odd to me.

Perhaps its because I deal in TypeScript all day, every day, but it never stuck with me.

That said, small price to pay for a very nice runtime!

I come from js/ts as well and I find snake case much more readable than camel after using it in other languages for a bit. There are even js/ts projects that use snake case despite the camel case convention, for readability

Anytype recently made a significant change to the way certain types of information are categorized and related-- which resulted in the "What's New" note you saw. That's just unfortunate timing on your part and was a one-off change that's long been in the works. Not a regular occurrence.

I will say Anytype (and the like) can come off daunting at first, depending on your specific use case. Especially if you're just using it for notes/info/etc, I would recommend not getting too lost in examples and templates. Just make something simple for your purposes using the built-in types. (The "notes" type should suffice for you.)

Then as it evolves over time, you can expand and elaborate as needed. But trying to dive straight into the deep end and create some overarching master system right off the bat will definitely leave you feeling overwhelmed and questioning whether it's worth it.

I just gave it a try again, unfortunately I couldn't really figure it out, my issues were these:

The Notion import didn't work correctly, I've got tons of links to 'missing pages' and messed up formatting – fine, this I can live with.

I want to see my hierarchy of pages and jump through them intuitively like I would in Notion, instead on the left sidebar there is something called 'widgets', one of them is called 'Pages'. This does not show all my top level pages, instead it seems to show all pages, regardless of how 'deep down' they are, and it also only shows a maximum of 14, so it's kind of useless for me.

Same with navigating through pages, I want to be able to click through to

  /Projects/Some Project/foo/bar
And then quickly go back to 'Some Project' or 'Projects' again through a breadcrumbs style navigation at the top.

That's how the file system and Notion and most things on my computer work and I like that I don't have to think about it or learn some system to use it, it seems to me that Anytype just fundamentally doesn't work that way, it appears to treat pages (or objects) as nodes in a graph, with links and backlinks, which doesn't really fit with my way of thinking.

Not the software's fault, I'm sure some people like this style of knowledge organization but it's not for me I think.

__jonas commented on Crush: Glamourous AI coding agent for your favourite terminal   github.com/charmbracelet/... · Posted by u/nateb2022
jsnell · a month ago
I find it strange how most of these terminal-based AI coding agents have ended up with these attempts at making text UIs flashy. Tons of whitespace, line art, widgets, ascii art and gradients, and now apparently animations. And then what you don't get is the full suite of expected keybindings, tab completion, consistent scrollback, or even flicker-free text rendering. (At least this one seems to not be written with node.js, so I guess there's some chance that the terminal output is optimized to minimize large redraws?).

So they just don't tend to work at all like you'd expect a REPL or a CLI to work, despite having exactly the same interaction model of executing command prompts. But they also don't feel at all like fullscreen Unix TUIs normally would, whether we're talking editors or reader programs (mail readers, news readers, browsers).

Is this just all the new entrants copying Claude Code, or did this trend get started even earlier than that? (This is one of the reasons Aider is still my go-to; it looks and feels the way a REPL is supposed to.)

__jonas · a month ago
Nah, this type of text UI has been charmbracelet's whole thing since before AI agents appeared.

I quite like them, unlike traditional TUIs, the keybindings are actually intuitively discoverable, which is nice.
