@rasterweb I had the same experience with Anytype (and pretty much every other app that promotes itself as your "second brain" - Obsidian, Logseq, etc.). All of these force you to think too much of how to organize your notes, rather than simply write them down.
As a result, I've ended up using a dual system, where Bear serves as something like my quick note cache, and would eventually refine and move sticking notes over to a git-backed Obsidian instance (deep archive).
