Today is a work-from-home admin day. Catching up on emails, updating the calendar, etc. Also trying out Dynalist as a possible replacement for Workflowy.

@nathanrhale I've always thought Workflowy is a great product, but somehow I never end up using it as much as I thought I would. Prbobaby just me; but I'd be interested in why you're switching and how you like Dynalist better.

@nathanrhale I’m glad I have the habit of just clicking links to any kind of app. Thanks for the link — I’ve started to use Dynalist for note-taking at work and it’s a beauty to behold, especially since much of my work is very structured and text-heavy.

@AbbaMoses So, I LOVE Workflowy, and have used it for years for brainstorming and outlining ideas, sermons, notes, etc. It gets less user friendly when it comes to managing information though--moving stuff around and navigating large outlines can be a real pain. Dynalist seems to solve those problems in some cool, keyboard-centric ways that speak to me.

@fardles NICE. It certainly excels for that kind of work. And it's a pretty feature-rich app without feeling overly bloated.

@nathanrhale So, I'm using DynaList now. One reason: I can replace two apps on my phone (a to-do and a note taker) and am always trying to minimize the number of apps in my life. I like it very well so far.

@nathanrhale "without feeling overly bloated" is exactly right. What I'm enjoying about it is its seamless performance. Everything just works and is so quick. After using it for a while, trying to make an outline on Microsoft Word just seems like trudging through knee-high mud (although to be fair, Word is not purpose-built for this, but it goes to show how good it is to have software designed around that specific output).

@fardles Agreed. I never new how helpful outlining could be until I used an actual outliner.

@AbbaMoses NICE! I too find outliners to be outstanding for taking notes. Usually I export them to a folder structure on my computer for reference, thought. I don't like outliners as repositories of a lot reference material.
