Joplin vs. Workflowy

Already done.

Incentivized

For my money, it is best to use Workflowy for all areas of focus in my daily life. When I start to separate information, notes, convo's that's when I run into trouble. By using Workflowy for everything, I keep my sanity and my effectiveness. I cannot think of any environment where the Workflowy app would not work out extremely well!

• take and find notes of any kind.
• Exports notes for sharing.
• Syncs between devices.
• Exports notes as html.

Incentivized

• searching
• storing information
• organizing information

• It currently lacks integrated Grammar checking.
• Lack of integrated AI.

Incentivized

• Insert a more affordable Tier between Pro and Free
• Provide the capability to add separate files for different projects and areas of focus

Mostly, it is wonderful. However, the search could be easier to use. I use the Markdown editor, which can be made very easy to use, but is really needed to get the most out of Joplin. If you are unwilling to use Markdown, don't use Joplin.

I now have 12+ years of notes stored in Workflowy - everything from song lyrics to book outlines to classroom notes. It makes it VERY easy to find, VERY easy to sort, and VERY easy to organize.

I left Evernote many, many years ago, but was very happy with the move to Joplin and much prefer it.

Workflowy seems to have less constraints than those other products. It is easier to use and more versatile.

• I write my newsletter with it.
• I use it to monitor my billing - Getting money has a high ROI.
• Client notes. Hard to know what the ROI is for knowing what the client last had a problem with, but I assume it is part of why I've kept the same clients for decades.

• I estimate that Workflowy easily saves me 1.5 - 2 hours each day in streamlined productivity. That calculates, for my organization approximaely $500.00 a month!
