Anytype is [[Open source|opensource]], but read-only. 2. Anytype notes use a non-standard format. Div, someone from the Anytype team, confirmed that Anytype notes are saved as protobuf, Markdown, and json files-- meaning that only Anytype would be able to easily and natively read all the interconnections between them. Co-founder [[Anton Pronkin]] also confirmed that Anytype cannot use existing standards because of how it's built.
