Anytypes is local first. That's its unique selling point and possibly its defining feature. If you click the link I shared above, it's one of the rest things you'll read on it's description.

Local first is not unique. You can create text file with any editor, click save and you're local and offline first.

While it might be local first as touted by their website, however it's misleading since there were no local text files which are fundamental for actual storage of important notes and backup with 3-2-1 principle. Use of local dbs complicates the whole process.

But you do you.

It might not be unique, but you originally said it was your main concern with Anytype.

It seems like you’re conflating locality with file & storage formats. Those are not the same thing. The closest I’ve come to that is the markdown files it can export to and import from. If you want to actually work with plain text files (whether local or not), you’re correct that Anytype likely won’t suit.
