I switched my homepage to Workflowy when I saw it first here on HN and it has been a great boost to my productivity since. Maybe nothing specific to Workflowy itself, but just the fact of having a todo list as homepage.
Workflowy is to TODO as git is to svn

#12I have been using Workflowy for about 2 weeks now and have a 2 week history of things I have done, didn't get completed and meeting notes.
I love that I can keep all of this in one place without worrying too much about formatting.

#13I just noticed workflowy has an export tool at the bottom of the page. Pretty slick.

#14I would love to run something like this on my personal webserver.
Is there any free software solution that provides such a web solution? (I've played with various wikis for a while but it never was never 'addictive' enough.)

#15Workflowy looks interesting, but the part of the marketing that turns me off is that there is very little information available without signing in, instead we see a video. The video makes claims of being "the first" in a lot of things, but the demo shows workflowy off as a crippled version of mind-mapping software, which honestly makes me think they haven't done their homework.

#16I think you're more likely to stick to and maintain todos on a mobile device that syncs to the cloud. Maybe that's just how I'm wired, but I never could stick to any one system until I got a smartphone, now I run my life out of it.
In the WorkFlowy Help section at the bottom it says:
What we're working on: Mobile (iPhone, iPad, Android), export & backup, collaboration & sharing, better moving, and about a million other small improvements.

#17I've been working on a similar project, but I've been moving away from the tree structure lately because I found it too rigid.
I don't think all my ideas fit into a tree.

#18Workflowy reminds me of google tasks. Simple tasks easily indented.

That is what I am waiting for. I want access to my TODOs anywhere, otherwise I will lose things or have a hard time looking things up.

#20Workflowy looks... almost identical to Google Tasks.
