#dynalist — Public Fediverse posts

@drearicheli I've been using #Dynalist for a number of years but am a little frustrated by the structural limitations. #Obsidian is made by the same people/group/comp and I've been eyeing it up but not taken any action with it.

What's good about it for you?

#Dynalist gets some #outlining basics right and is available cross-platform (webapp). https://dynalist.io/ However, it does not feel anywhere as intuitive and structured as #OmniOutliner.

@neonpurrs While Obsidian can be configured to do this it's not specifically designed to. If a daily-entry bullet-outlined system is what you need, then either #Logseq or #Dynalist are the top of the heap. (Some people also like #Workflowy.)

#Dynalist - Die Frage, ob Dynalist weiterentwickelt wird, war hier Thema #pkm

Fazit: Fehlerkorrektur im Fokus, nicht Weiterentwicklung

Habe Stellungnahme der Entwicklerin (Erica) gefunden, welche 21 veröffentlicht wurde und bis heute gilt:

Übersetzt: "Wenn ich den aktuellen Dynalist auf das zufriedenstellende Niveau bringen würde, wäre es einfacher, bei Null anzufangen, als auf der aktuellen Codebasis..."

#Workflowy als mögliche Alternative: https://workflowy.com/invite/798f80fc.lnx

When starting a #sideproject, what's your favorite *simple* tool to keep track of your #backlog / ideas? 🤔

I used to be in the #trello bandwagon for a long time, but I'm having more and more of a hard time using it. Most of the time I now go for a markdown file in my repo but it's not enough for more long-term / structured project.

For now, maybe an outliner such as #dynalist may be a solution, allowing for screenshots and moving things around more easily

@Vorinstanz I absolutely love #Dynalist. The syncing is smooth, flawless and free, unlike #Obsidian’s iCloud syncing.

#Dynalist #Outliner wird zurzeit offensichtlich nicht mehr weiter entwickelt. Der Fokus des Teams liegt auf #Obsidian.

Dynamisch entwickelt sich gerade #Workflowy. Als Betatester erhalte ich fast täglich Updates. An den "Text Lab Sessions" konzentriere ich mich zZ voll und ganz auf dieses Tool

#Workflowy feiert das 10-Jährige Ich gehöre zu den langjährigen Nutzern. Für mich immer noch DER Outliner, wobei ich Obsidian usw. nicht mehr zu den "klassischen" Outlinern zähle

Worflowy kann inzwischen Backlinks und #Kanban-Darstellungen. Und vor allem: Es wird weiterentwickelt.

#Dynalist wird leider - so wie ich sehe - nicht weiterentwickelt.

@jjude Check out #Dynalist, might be what you're after.

@kepano You're deluding obsidian users and yourself. #Obsidian is for profit company founded by multimillionaires paying you to exploit #openSource and lock-in their users with their community labor

It's their *#venture*. It was built on money from prev community (#Dynalist) they're no longer interested in. Speaking of being 100% user funded - just like any other #ponziScheme

They were approached by #VC in the past, weren't big enough to sell out

So is this true, that #Dynalist is dying or dead completely? I started using it back in 2018 and thought it was an absolutely wonderful program (WAY better than #Workflowy, its main competitor), even used it as a task/todo list for several months. Supposedly the developers are also associated with #Obsidian.

Honestly I haven’t used it much over the last couple of years because yes, Obsidian contains a lot of the functionality. Still, Dynalist is just great as a standalone outliner with everything built in, including a *free* sync backend that isn’t iCloud.

@rolle #Nozbe and #Dynalist

@toran @maxmm77 @Zak8022 #Tana does have some good ideas though. Hopefully they will enhance it with 1) a completely free plan, 2) apps that allow it to be useable on a mobile device and a separate desktop client app, 3) no need to be online to view your data, can't always guarantee my laptop is on wifi and 4) import/export of data and data stored locally. It'll be a worthy contender then. Could potentially replace #Logseq and #Dynalist for me.

@Zak8022 Here's an overview video showing how it works (https://help.tana.inc/getting-started-and-overview/getting-started-with-tana.html). When I applied for an invite I had seen a little about how it works, including their concept of "supertags". For right now it looks like all your data is stored on their cloud - I don't have too much of a problem with that for the moment, but what I really need is an app (phone or tablet) for quick, native, access to the data if needed. Offline preferably, with instant sync as and when connected online. I don't think they have a native app yet.

I'm going to need some time set aside to fiddle; but I've got some catching up to do with other stuff over the next few days since I spent the last week at a company meeting on the other side of the country. Will post how it goes soon as I've had a chance to dive in.

BTW I'm a HUGE Obsidian fan. Unlikely Tana or anything else will replace it. BUT Tana could be a good supplement since right now I use #Dynalist for outlinery data and Tana looks quite "outlinish".

#AthensResarch is really good!

It's supposed to be a #FOSS alternative to #RoamResearch. While it doesn't have as many tree specific features as #Workflowy it competes pretty well with #Dynalist.

After a few days of use I can say I do like the "networked" idea because it takes out the stress and distraction of having to sort your new sub-tree somewhere.

I'm happy the "outliner" (tree style notes) space is growing.
While I knew about #Workflowy, #Dynalist, #Roam, #Transno (all proprietary), #Logseq (FOSS, but doesn't save collapsed state), today I found out about Athens research, which puts an emphasis on privacy, independence and using a real graph structure and looks super promising (besides indentation being slow so far).

I kind of like #Dynalist

I wish I didn't have to depend on proprietary #Dynalist for something as important as idea management, but I in the realm of "infinite outliners" I have found pretty much only #Dynalist and #Workflowy to usable.

I'm still looking for a non-proprietary mind management ecosystem to replace #Dynalist.

So far Org mode looks relatively promising, but I'm missing a nice semi-graphical (not minimalistic text-only) management tool.

Does such a thing exist for #orgmode? Maybe for another format?
