Original
Vimflowy
NOTE: I don't have time to maintain this anymore, sorry!
This is a productivity tool which draws some inspiration from workflowy and vim.
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
- No collaborative editing
- Global search is slow for large documents (so you'll want to use marks)
- You may need a relatively modern browser (minimally 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.
By default, you own your own data, as it is stored locally on your computer. However, you can let Google host it for you, or host it yourself.
SELF-HOSTING
See the deployment documentation for details. You can deploy with docker, or build from source yourself.
NOTES FOR DEVELOPERS
Contributions are very welcome! See dev_setup.md to see how to get started with a development setup.
