The UI, the look and feel appear very similar to Workflowy. Any differentiators I'm missing?

@manasvinik Maker here, TL;DR: it's not that different right now, but we are going to make it better than Workflowy. Right now the differences are (1) you can create folders and documents, (2) there's a file finder (Ctrl+O), (3) LaTeX support coming really soon. See my comment below for more details.

@shida_li Thanks for the clarification. If you're looking for feedback, one thing I'd suggest is to change the UI to not look so visually similar to them. I was confused for a moment there! :)

@manasvinik We did try to be different, but bullet point lists all look so similar... (also try dark theme in preferences)

@shida_li @manasvinik Sorry folks, don't want to be rude, but for now it's a less functionable Workflowy twin.

@vladzima @manasvinik Well, given we've only had less than 3 months of development time, there's still a long way to go. We do have a long list of features that are in the works and waiting in line, but I'm curious what makes you say it's a "less functionable twin". P.S. Feel free to call us out on being a Workflowy clone because that's what we started out as. People eventually build better things based off existing ideas, and we strive to make a difference.

I wish I would've found something like this a few years ago - this is exactly how I was taking notes in school, except in a notebook.

@_ryangilbert You can still take meeting notes with it now! Almost all the meeting notes I've seen are in this format as well.

Awesome, looks just like workflowy which I just found as well, my question is how are you storing all this for free?

I’m just stopping by with a really dumb comment. Command-. for expand and close? That is an odd choice as that’s been a “cancel this operation” keyboard shortcut on macOS for years. It feels weird… But nice UI and features so far!

Hey guys, maker here. As long time Workflowy users, we felt like it's developing relatively slowly, and we had a lot of new ideas we want to experiment in terms of features, addressing many use cases not addressed by Workflowy. Also we found the free user limitation restrictive (250-500 item), while the pro option expensive (as a comparison, Evernote's most expensive tier is the same price of $50/year). We won't be as restricting, and there will not be numbers limiting your work. Coming soon: LaTeX support

Currently we're focusing on building a solid foundation to be able to add features quickly. Some other things we have in mind: - Real time collaboration: websockets, show where other users are editing, commenting - Content enrichment: text formatting, images, urls, etc - Tagging and navigation: tags, dates, map location, etc - Note taking enhancements: screen docking, web clipping, text expansion/macros - Other views: Trello-like 2d view, column view like Mac finder

It reminds me a lot of OmniOutliner which I love. Clean and clear UX, very nice. We need more outliners in this world.

The overall simplicity - not just in the UI, but in your emails, in the login popup, in the About page - everywhere - struck me. Great great work for logic obsessed, compulsive list-makers such as myself. The one thing that prevents me from using this right away are the missing features to share and collaborate. Lastly, if a bullet has no sub-points, I understand why I can still zoom in but cant understand why the mouse cursor turns into a hand while hovering upon the bullet, there's nothing inside. Lastly (a second time), I stumbled upon Omniflow while looking for a simple tool that helps me make a visual Company roadmap with each box element clickable (which serves as the zoom-in for your product). So pretty much as simple as and with the same structure as Omniflow, but visual. If that is integrated some day, that'd be AWESOME!

@arastuz We're glad you enjoy using it! Sharing and collaboration works! You can share a file with others via email address (for now, the recipient must be a registered user), or via an anonymous sharing link. The sharing menu can be brought up with a right click on a document or a folder.
