Load Workflowy only partially with each list
Loading Workflowy used to take a very long time on my phone. Suspecting that maybe all of my Workflowy lists were loading each time I entered the site, and this was what was taking so long, I exported a lot of my old lists to OPML on my hard drive and deleted them from Workflowy. After doing this, Workflowy loads much faster on my phone.
I'm suggesting that Workflowy should only load some of the user's lists at any one time -- certainly the entire list the user has navigated to, and maybe just a few levels above and below. This way, the user would be able to quickly navigate to lists that he/she is likely going to click into, but he/she didn't have to wait for all of Workflowy to load.

Yes, the long loading times are really a big pain and my biggest issue with WorkFlowy.
Right now I'm on a train journey with poor internet, and wanted to get some serious thinking done. And voila, the app which I hope works offline too, said "a problem has occurred, please reload before making any changes". So, first of when I see that I am always worried I lost changes I had already, but okay, I reload.
And the app is now not loading , yes, my list is probably way to big. Is that my problem, that I use the app too much? Should I go back to just using a txt file? :S
Look, we have the data, it was already downloaded once, can't we just keep it stable so I can keep the notes I already have downloaded offline available?
And if I do have to reload, can't we just initially load a section, like those notes viewed & modified the last 24 hours, (and then in the background keep loading, like the last few days, etc, until everything is loaded).
Now stuck on the train, where I could do my best work, but without workflowy - so without my notes. Really feels like a very bad experience.
