@ueeu Anytype is awesome!
@ueeu As long as the mobile version is only available via the Apple and Google stores it's not secure and not European. Please make the app available via F-Droid and other FOSS stores
@ueeu The organisation is located in Switzerland. Not EU
@ueeu What bothers me : “All major credit cards are accepted. If you purchase your membership from the Desktop app, the payment will be processed via Stripe in USD.” Why always in USD?!
@ueeu open source but not free software (libre software). Sorry but don't.
