I’ve tried it and I like it. There is *slightly* more friction than in something like Obsidian/Logseq, because you do have to search for where in the outline to add the item as you are creating it.

Despite that, I find it useful, and it closes a gap in how I would ideally use WorkFlowy. In fact, the power of the combination of mirrors, backlinks, freely creating new items “remotely,” and board views recently clicked for me. It’s a sort of BrainStorm/Ecco/ConnectedText mashup.

My understanding of what boards can be used for expanded a lot after I stumbled across these videos below. Boards combined with mirrors can be used to create dashboards/overviews of outlines/items from various other places in the master outline. In some ways, this just brings WorkFlowy up to date with what can be done with Notion, Obsidian, etc., but I always really liked the clean interface of WF and actually prefer the non-document approach, so I’m really glad to see more power being added.
