What is Anytype?
Anytype's public releases are all Windows signing and build-chain plumbing right now.
The last ten Anytype releases are dominated by Windows code-signing and build-toolchain maintenance: pinning AzureSignTool, surfacing its logs, and moving node-gyp to support Visual Studio 2026. These are nightly and alpha cuts with no user-facing feature changes. The local-first notes app is visibly mid-stream on release engineering, not product surface.
What is Skedda?
Skedda keeps expanding from desk booking toward a full workplace-experience platform.
Skedda is steadily broadening from space booking into wider workplace operations. Recent releases added visitor-management depth (Visit Types, CSV visitor import), issue reporting with routing, check-in insights, priority booking rules with day and time scoping, and deeper Microsoft two-way-sync support. Each ships as a contained, visible improvement rather than a single headline feature.

Anytype
5.0COLLAB
Anytype's public releases are all Windows signing and build-chain plumbing right now.
◆ Current state
The last ten Anytype releases are dominated by Windows code-signing and build-toolchain maintenance: pinning AzureSignTool, surfacing its logs, and moving node-gyp to support Visual Studio 2026. These are nightly and alpha cuts with no user-facing feature changes. The local-first notes app is visibly mid-stream on release engineering, not product surface.
◆ Where it's heading
The team is working through a Windows build-and-signing modernization pass, toggling runner images (windows-2022 vs windows-2025) and rebuilding native modules (keytar) for a newer toolchain. This reads as clearing infrastructure debt before stable cuts rather than a directional product move. Middleware was bumped to v0.50.9-alpha1, suggesting backend changes are queued behind the packaging work.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued nightly and alpha churn until the Windows signing pipeline stabilizes, after which a feature-bearing alpha that exercises the bumped middleware is the likely next step.
Skedda
5.0COLLAB
Skedda keeps expanding from desk booking toward a full workplace-experience platform.
◆ Current state
Skedda is steadily broadening from space booking into wider workplace operations. Recent releases added visitor-management depth (Visit Types, CSV visitor import), issue reporting with routing, check-in insights, priority booking rules with day and time scoping, and deeper Microsoft two-way-sync support. Each ships as a contained, visible improvement rather than a single headline feature.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is consistent: turn a desk- and room-booking tool into the system of record for how an office actually runs — who's visiting, who's on site, what's broken, who gets priority. Visitor management, check-in and occupancy data, and facilities issue reporting are the growth edges; the Microsoft sync and approval work keeps it embedded in existing enterprise calendars. No single directional spark this cycle, but the cumulative direction is clear.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued investment in visitor management and occupancy intelligence — more insights surfaces and routing or automation around check-ins — building on the companion-app and issue-reporting foundations.
