    Takes what WorkFlowy started and made it more useful and powerful. It's better!

    I don't completely think that Dynalist is the alternative of Workflowy, although they are all outliner editors but the fundamental primitive is very different. Workflowy is a one-pane outliner, it doesn't have "file" or "page" abstract, all bullets are treated equally, but Dynalist have these abstract, which IMHO are unnecessary redundancy for an outliner software.

    It's really better than workflowy and it works in markdown. It's just expensive for the pro version

    It works similarly, but has more features and uses text files so that it can be offline. It's also open-source.
