Vimflowy

This is a productivity tool which draws some inspiration from workflowy and vim.

Try it out!

FEATURES

• Workflowy features
  • tree-like outlining
  • collapsing and zooming into bullets
  • basic text formatting, strike through task completion
• Vim features
  • (configurable) vim keybindings
  • modal editing
  • undo history, location history, macros, etc.
• Plugins system (see plugins.md)
  • marks (not like vim's)
  • easy-motion for moving between bullets quickly
  • time-tracking
  • LaTeX and HTML rendering
• Other
  • data import from or export as text file (native Vimflowy format or Workflowy-compatible format)
  • loads data lazily (good for huge documents)
  • search (not like vim's)
  • cloning (bullets duplicated in multiple locations in a document)
  • customizable visual themes

LIMITATIONS

• Global search is slow for large documents (so you'll want to use marks)
• No collaborative editing
• You may need a relatively modern browser. It should at least support HTML5 LocalStorage and Flexbox. I test only in recent versions of Chrome and Firefox.

DATA STORAGE

Vimflowy was designed to work with multiple storage backends.

You can keep the data on your computer, let Google host it for you, or host it yourself.
