Big Tech Corps donât allow work or work data on 3rd party clouds - strictly Corp machines and Corp clouds only, or encrypted on the Corp device before sync.
Iâm sure a ton of workers use Workflowy in their personal life, and are being driven crazy at work by security restrictions â so what do they use? Some offline app that saves to a local SVN/dropbox folder sync situation?
I wouldnât be surprised if whichever of the Workflowy clones goes âcorporate security approved modeâ first gets their company acquired for the big bux by salesforce or whatever coz Jesse Patel is droppin the ball on this eventual paradigm shift where outliners are the new hotness and they get some buzzword rename like âdeep journalâ or âneural notebookâ and we have OutlinerCon 2019 dwarf dreamforce
Pretty much everyone I show Workflowy/Dynalist to, who curiously watches how I use it, eventually gets infected with the bug, I wish the paradigm took off faster. You can stuff your every thought into higher and higher dimensions, makes 2d Visicalc Excel grandpa computers look boring, weâre entering the age of neural networks, ambient computation, and whatever rebranding nested lists get to make them cool, âthe mindmaps of the 80s get a reboot - techcrunchâ âare your notes stuck in 2 dimensions? - mediumâ

By that I just mean Iâm frustrated how slow Workflowy develops. I mean theyâre millionaires now without any marketing, and their userbase just keeps growing, so Iâm sure theyâre happy, but I believe Workflowyâs idea is so untapped. I look at people using Google Docs or Evernote and think âyou poor innocent foolsâŚone day youll see the lightâ and maybe people will argue its preference but i want to argue itâs that the ideaâs development is being neglected. I mean I hope dynalist is the one to hit the sweet spot but who knows, maybe a mindmap mode will go viral or something and ddos the servers, some leap in âcoolâ to seduce the unindoctrinated.
I mean Iâm sure Workflowy has a vision but weâve been asking for textual hyperlinking for years and I donât see what their objection is, maybe they dont want to mess with steady success, but now clones are picking up the ball and delivering
Maybe because thatâs the time to start using marketing and advertising? Even with Twitter⌠Even Google has its own advertising clips on Youtube and thatâs hilarious as it gets because who needs to advertise Google?.. But here we are. Start with social media, thatâs a great tool if you know how to use it properly. Even Twitter will be handy. For example, this site can help greatly with scheduled tweets and many other social media hidden features: https://promorepublic.com/en/twitter.php
