    It's almost exactly the same, with a couple features that are better (kanban and other alternate views, mirrored bullet points) and a couple that are worse (Inability to have line breaks within a single bullet point, bullet point notes which only display the first line unless selected, and an inability to clip items to the bottom of large documents). You could say that Dynalist is Workflowy-inspired, they are so similar.
