    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

    Trello is a Kanban to do list app, and WorkFlowy is a plain text to do app

    WorkFlowy is a hierarchical with many inner levels all-in-one document and gives possibilities of a rapid overview/navigate in general and on every task/node in particular. Trello, otherwise, "hides" different tasks in different cards and, imho, it is heavier way to browse between tasks and see problems/issues in common.

    Trello is not an alternative to WorkFlowy. Although WorkFlowy could be used as a task manager, it is fundamentally an infinite-depth outliner that could be used for, say, longer-form writing. Trello is not an outliner. It’s a task manager with a Kanban-style card layout.
