Therefore it is robust! It provides a extensive list of features.

In the end, I will mention two apps that technically are not “outliners”, but they can be used to implement Workflowy/Bullet Journal efficiently. Here, I will try to go through a list of apps that I have tested or found interesting which can also support painless Workflowy/Bullet Journal integration. There are a few alternatives are available, each with their advantages and disadvantages, from very sophisticated OmniOutliner to the text-based TaskPaper and the web-based Dynalist. I still use it very frequently, because I have lots of data stored in there, but I started looking for alternatives. They have recently released their macOS/Linux/Window apps in the form of web-wrapper again, Electron-based apps which I am not a fan of. On the missing list of features, Workflowy does not handle dates at all, it offers no integration options, no API, and I wish it were supporting Markdown after all these years, at least in notes, but no. After a while, I found myself not using the iOS app anymore, only very infrequently for reading or reviewing. That is because the app is essentially a wrapper around the website, so non-default text editing experience and overall sluggish web wrapper UI do not help with the UX.

Although Workflowy has an iOS app available on App Store, the UX is just not right. To name a few shortcomings of Workflowy, I can start by highlighting the lack of a native app on iOS and/or macOS. Only recently, the team is starting to hire an engineer to “maybe” start the development again. It is not like that Workflowy at its current state is not being useful anymore however, you start to see how the availability of particular features can improve your “workflow”, but unfortunately they’ll never be developed in the case of Workflowy. The near-zero development speed and several delays in releasing some very old Requested Features has started to become frustrating. Although I am pretty happy with the outlining, I am not very satisfied with the Workflowy as a service. Over time, the outlining proved to be an effective method for collecting, organizing and pursuing my thought. It seems it is working for others with other needs too. I am also surprised by the number of reads and recommends on Medium.

It is maybe because I designed it for my needs, and it turned out to be flexible enough to adjust over time. I never thought that I continue using it for such a long time. It has been a while that I am using Workflowy Journal as my main productivity method, and therefore Workflowy as my primary productivity app/service.
