IMO you might pull a few defactors from the Notion camp but to win any significant market share from the Obsidian market privacy is paramount. Highly recommend thinking about licensing a self hosted option or at least zero trust encryption before additional feature enhancements.
Agreed. I am currently paying for the Obsidian Sync. What I wouldn't wanna pay for is some AI assistant stuff and the likes, but a good, trustable sync option like obsidian has would be important.
This is very well designed and I wish them well. It reminds me throughout of the reason I abandoned Roam for Obsidian: Obsidian is local and the data format is openable and editable in any number of other apps now and in the future. I trust the Capacities team intent to keep everything secure but in a world where large corporations and governments get hacked, I prefer to own and store my data however I see fit.
Keep the videos coming Michael. Different use cases would be excellent addition too. Watching everything I can to Hone my set up in capacities. Loving the App
We need a way to do live queries, saving those queries for future reference. For instance, save all `Quotes` from a specific timeframe, and later you can visit that same query whenever you want.
defiantly an interesting app. will look forward to see how it progresses. but what would be your privacy policy? will you have local files and the cloud storage with end to end encryption?
this is great. I've tried capacities and want to use it, but in a way, I can do the same (yes with more work) in notion through backlinks and databases. i saw the pro plan was released today. and i will most likely switch when the mobile apps and task management has been released.
This is absolutely incredible. Every "second brain“ note taking app I’ve been using so far always had a free thing missing. Capacities has everything I need 😍
I've been thinking too broad, as in to move my entire system over, but I just realized that this would be really great for organizing video game development. Well in my case multiple games in a series. I was trying to do object based in NOTION, but that obviously could not work. Obsidian when I moved there at least could link things together, but wasn't that great either. Couldn't see a great holistic view for just the game.
Why use a pluging when you have everything right out of the box with Capacities? I haved used both Notion, too time consuming to create the system, and Obsidian, too many pluggins and time consuming as well 🙅♀@@Exclusifs
@@Exclusifs it has so many options that you get overwhelmed. Once you decided to stick with a setup you then find out about another plugin that you "will definitely need" and then you get sucked into a pattern of an ever changing customization loop. At least for me haha. I spent hours today wasting time installing a ton of plugins that in the long run, won't help me reach my actual goal of what I created my vault for
Looking for something similar for our team campaigns. Sadly we are not allowed to use not self hosted and it must be fully collaborative. That object feature would be a real selling point for our workflow though :|
I am just looking for an advanced digital filing cabinet with bi-directional linking and a graph view, that is less complicated than Obsidian. Sounds like too much to ask for until I see an app like this.
I wish the app had a built-in workspaces feature. For instance, I would like one capacities instance for just work and other instance for personal stuff. For instance, in this video there is a Recipes object type. That type of object might be important in my personal life but it has nothing to do at all with my work. Also, I think this video is a much better overview then their other video about Getting Started.
We do have spaces! If you click on the space name (in the very top left of your screen- in this video it's "my notebook" ) and click "home", you will see a button to create a new space. That would allow you to keep recipes and work things separate.
Will there ever be ai suggestions to Connect notes (maybe Not Just INSIDE Same Tags) but also different tagged notes. This would be a Game Changer for me (and so a Tool Changer:)
Hi Capacities, what a great tool! Actually I'm using anytype, but somehow werde ich nicht warm damit. So Capacities could be, what I'm looking for. My questions: Does it work offline as well? And how about OCR? For example if I add a scanned document or ipad scribble - does it make the text searchable? Thank you! ❤
We have a powerful search and command palette, including full text search, property search and saved AI chat search! We have some more information here about how everything works: docs.capacities.io/reference/search
Is there a way to migrate a task to the next day or next week that you had on Todo but did not finish? I routinely do this in my Bujo, but using the app to do this would prove very useful
There's some really interesting discussion of this in our discord channel from lots of users- worth checking that out if you haven't joined yet. We might make a blog post about it later though if that would be helpful, but there's no one way to do it!
I am trying my best to add a profile image to the People profile, but no matter what I do I cannot get it to display on the cards. I have tried to edit the settings and preferences of the card, adding image as a property (cover image) etc. but nothing works, it just stays blank. Very annoying and took me straight out of the app...
Nice, but a no go for me. For me, I need to be able to host it myself and keep the date private. Furthermore as a Software Engineer, for me it needs to be completely compatible with Markdown. Furthermore I can't help myself, but the interface just looks like a blunt ripoff from Notion with a combination of parts of Obsidian.
Not bad but not good. The 3-pane interface is essential, like evernote or any file explorer. All other solutions are intellectual masturbation. No migration from evernote.
Was curious about this app which I had not heard about before. However in your quick tour you don't start by saying what the app is for and just dive right on in to discussing objects. Sorry, fail.
I tested it, there is no offline mode. It's a data trap, like Notion. You had a great potential, but you are self-doomed with this choice. Nowadays data ownership is mandatory. Sorry for you that you don't match this essential privacy needs.
Aren’t Data ownership and offline mode different things? You can bulk export all your notes to markdown, which just works really nice. So you own your data. Afaik they are working on an offline solution.
@@NjuJFama Nope they are not the same because if you have to do something to get your data, that means that you depend on a recurring task that need internet to be available. So if you did not backup your data every typed word, and that you lost internet, you have no access to ALL your data at any time, anywhere, so they are not yours. They are working to an offline solution, well, "Notion" did too 🤣 it was publicly announced thru their roadmap, then delayed, then the roadmap vanished... I didnot believe they will operate offline, that's a business model to trap customers to sells them cloud data parking. I would choose Anytype over Capacities.
