ok, it's been a few days now using it, and I'm starting to love it. Specially their API access, so I can send my voice note transcriptions to my daily note.
The custom object types is great, I missed that feature from Anytype in other tools.
The only drawback is that they didn't implemented an import from other platforms tool. And I have all my history and notes on Logseq now.
I just tried it, looks good. But TBH, I miss outlining. I would like they offer a way to have an outlining mode (with collapsing ability). Thanks for the recommendation.

This product looks awesome and the mobile app looks exceptional. But if it’s not self-hosted and in some kind of standard format,you’re SOL when the company shuts down. Even though you can export your data, where are you supposed import it to?
Trust me, I do understand all that. My personal set of trade-offs is such that I really can't be bothered with self-hosting.
Capacities has one-click export of all of your objects (notes/pages) with a sensible folder structure that produces markdown with frontmatter and includes all media attachments. That's good enough for me.
They must be overcome by the HN hug of death or something, because their isEmailVerified endpoint is 429-ing, preventing signups. With that level of execution, who could trust them with your most intimate knowledge?
I watched Threads for the first time recently and it really did ruin the rest of my day. I still think about it regularly. It influenced my thinking on the threat of nuclear annihilation a lot.
If you don't feel like watching the whole film (and you definitely should, the first third is all lead-up and it's masterfully done - and the aftermath part is the most believable post-apocalypse I've ever seen in a movie) you should at least watch the bombing scene:
The attack scene from the American version, The Day After (1983), is even more harrowing in my opinion. I looked up how the special effects for it were created, even though looking it up usually ruins a movie for me (I have stopped looking up the special effects for movies). The attack/fallout scene from How I Live Now (2013) is also eerie. These are not snuff scenes, that's not what they are about. The movies were made to make people think about the entirety of circumstances surrounding such an attack.
How I live now, while not a particularly good movie, really sat with me. The lack of understanding of what's happening around them, as the government has crumbled there is no civil order to communicate with citizens. The parts where they traverse the abandoned motorways, encountering highwaymen and rape gangs... it all left a really weird feeling.
