Anytype has finally followed through on their promise and open sourced their repositories. Self hosting is now possible though there is no docker container available.

This is a major step forward for all PKMS and I wholeheartedly congratulate them.

btw Anytype is free, even their included sync service, which is the best of any offline-first style PKMS I have experienced. Anytype is top 3 PKMS for me, followed by Logseq and SiYuan. They're in good company and now it's only going to improve!

Transclusion is somewhat important to me so thanks for pointing out that Anytype doesn't support it. It does still look interesting though, so I'll at least try it out.

I haven't tried logseq much yet either, but it did seem more org-like than anything else which was pretty appealing to me. I was mostly just waiting to see how it matures and for it to get a good mobile app. Obsidian impressed me by supporting basically the same plugins on mobile and desktop (meaning I can use a 3rd party sync plugin on both), but there are parts I don't like about it.

SiYuan

Thanks for this recommendation, it's the first I've seen SiYuan but it looks pretty good too. I added it to my ever-growing list to try!

My top 3 PKMS of the mountain of PKMS I've tried are 1. Logseq, 2. SiYuan, 3. Anytype. I do like Obsidian's ability to use plugins on mobile, but the mobile experience isn't as good any of these 3. I will say that Anytype's mobile experience is the best. Logseq is very buggy to the point where it's almost unusable, and they're slow to release fixes on that front. I think the best thing they have is allowing to swipe to adjust indentation like Apple notes. That alone makes me like it more than the rest tbh. I've tried Obsidian a couple times but their transclusion is really half baked. Logseq does have lots of improvements in the pipeline though, which is why I'm sticking with it over SiYuan. And if Anytype were to ever include transclusion, I'd probably switch back to it.
