Continuing the discussion from 2018 New Year's Resolution Event (come and chat for a chance of winning lifetime Dynalist Pro):
The topic I posted on Jan. 16, 2018 is quite wordy, implicit and hard to understand, cause I focused too much on my personal subjective experience about using Dynalist. Today, I will try to clarify the purposes and needs I have while using Dynalist / Workflowy / mubu.io. I hope you can share your ideas as well. 
When I use Dynalist…
- I am trying to organize my scattered thoughts and notes, in order to reach this ideal state: Keep Found Things Found
- This is very easily done in Dynalist / Workflowy / mubu.io, by searching, tagging and zooming-in & out.
- I’ve created several Cheatsheet in my Dynalist documents and they saved me a lot of time.
- Based on that, I am trying to organize it more delicately into an easy to review and easy to re-navigate structure, in order to reach this ideal state: Simply By Navigating Through It, I Can Resume / Re-activate My Working Memory (of some tasks or projects)
- This is not so easily done in Dynalist / Workflowy / mubu.io, because none of them provide “True, Interactive, Both Readable & Editable Clone”, Dynalist is better than the latter two products, because it considerately provided 3 key features: [Go to Anything], [Move to Any Place (without losing current focus)], [Cross-Link to Anything Right (without losing current focus)]
- So I created Jan. 16th post, set up my mind to reach that goal in 2018.
- And earlier this month, I found a software named “YouMinds Composer Professional”, which had implemented “True, Interactive, Both Readable & Editable Clone”
YouMinds Composer Pro - Demo
- Another minor problem is, the default skin or theme of these outliners are not good for “differentiating current focused item and deeper or shallower items”
- This is partially solved by using Chrome browser’s custom CSS extension, like this: How to change Dynalist’s default theme into BlockTable theme
- And this is the BlockTable view (and several other views) in YouMinds Composer:

- I am also trying to 1-Click export my Dynalist documents into an Non-Linear eBook (not conventional PDF / epub / azw / mobi / chm type of eBooks).
- This is very hard to explain by words, but you can see how I realized this goal with a discontinued Windows Note-organizing software: “YouMinds Composer Professional” (and a python script to post-process the exported html files)
- Here is the Non-Linear eBook DEMO embeded inside a WordPress post
- Here is the Non-Linear eBook DEMO alone

I will append more thoughts about this topic when necessary. Here I need to say thanks to @Erica and your team for opening this forum and promoting disucssion. I’ve read your blog post We have used WorkFlowy and we liked it. However, we think that there are a lot of things that could take what WorkFlowy is doing to the next level, so we built Dynalist., and I believe (with so much evidence) many people are expecting it to happen in real.
