Switching back from Dynalist

The friction in Dynalist was finally just too much... Folders, Documents, Bullets, Headings, Colors, etc. What ever happened to keeping it simple? There is a lesson here: a simple thing executed with precision is a hallmark of the Unix days from way back when.

I sincerely hope Workflowy continues to keep its eye on what makes it great and resists the temptation of feature bloat. Trust me, if you want "features", there are 1,001 other products out there that will satisfy (and distract). Keep up the great work, Jesse!

  Absolutely true!

  I hope WorkFlowy keeps being simple and functional.

  I even will hate to see WorkFlowy with colours and embedded images, and fancy fonts and all that jazz.

  I read that this is coming but honestly, there are so many apps with all those features and choices to pick.

  The beauty of WorkFlowy is the power that enables a minimal Plain Text structure to build such complexes knowledge systems.

  Images and color will be out fairly soon... Most people want it. Very few people don't. We're working to make sure the interface doesn't get cluttered :-)

  I have full faith, based on the recent additions, that WF can add images and color in ways that keep it being "simple and functional"

  About switching from Dynalist to Workflowy, I've found this converter pretty useful: https://github.com/aneuhold/DynalistToWorkflowy. ;)
