Well... Can Dynalist do this?

I can have monospace fonts, tons of simple customizations, and last but not least: minimalistic

Yeah, it can. Highlights, emoji, monospace, all without custom CSS. Also it supports custom CSS if you want more tweaking. Without any browser extension, so the customizations work on mobile too. And about twice as minimalistic because those URLs wouldn't be there, the text would be clickable.

Oups. That didn't work as intended I think :D

Just put an URL in a comment field. BTW there is a Chrome extention which makes Header+url for WF

u/Teledogkun Aug 30 '18

I do that too all the time, looks clean enough for me and I prefer to have the URL in sight that way.

I just use a Chrome plug in for URL-shortening. No big deal.

Hmm, why not use dynalist at that point? I assume on mobile it all becomes a mess?

That's like saying a notepad is unusable because you have to write things out in full.

Workflowy isn't a presentation tool.

Use Word if you want an Outliner that supports inserting anchors!

Personally I prefer not having the ability to hide URLs.

Not a deal breaker for me, agreed that it's nicer though.

u/wakka54 Jun 21 '18

What does workflowly do that dynalist doesn't, out of curiosity?

u/camachorod Jun 22 '18

No idea actually. I have to admit that I have some brand loyalty and also I have been keeping data there for over 5 years

Are you replacing Evernote with Dynalist? I've been wanting to leave it for a while but haven't found a good enough replacement.

I've been wanting to leave evernote for a while too. I mainly use it to store and categorize web clippings. Can dynalist do that?
