WorkFlowy just released a new feature called panes that allows opening various parts of your outline in separate vertical panes. While you could always manually do something with split browser tabs or multiple browser windows before, the panes feature is quicker/easier. Reminds me a bit of how BrainStorm allowed opening multiple views on the same outline.

The panes feature also seems to allow Workflowy to mimic the major selling point of Legend. I have been developing a fondness for Workflowy. I think it is going to become a focal application for me in retirement.

Workflowy is great, and its continuing development and large ecosystem is comforting. Have you found a way to bulk-import data from other applications? It would be a lot easier to move on from Tana if there were a way to get my information from that app into its replacement.

I used the script here to import markdown files. https://github.com/rodolfo-terriquez/wf-import
It was developed by a Workflowy staff member and worked well.

between the panes and the calendar implementation, workflowy has mostly won me back from legend. I'll miss the 'tag-view' pane, and the options inworkflowy are almost too numerous now... but its a very comfortable experience!
I'll mourn legend a little.. they seem to be doing a 'FoldingText' and being really fixated on backend detail endlessly, when that new browser pane was just another mediocre compromise for 'doing all the work in legend' that they promised so hard.. but i'll thank them for everything they helped me achieve!
Is there anything you'll want from legend in workflowy @Stephen Zeoli??
