Apparently WorkFlowy has outgrown its database and moving to a new database model:
“WorkFlowy is close to outgrowing the largest single database on offer by Amazon Web Services, where we host the application. To deal with this we’ve been engaged in a pretty involved project to split all the data we store across many different databases.”

“We are sharding our database, which, for those of you who aren’t programmers, means splitting the data in our one big database out across many little databases. It’s a big deal, and a milestone for us that we’ve reached a scale where this is even needed.”

Interesting…but have switched to Dynalist for the last year, and find I use it more and more. It has everything Workflowy promised, and more. Workflowy with its long period of inactivity strikes me as, if not being abandon ware, darn close to it.
With some long, complex outlines on varying subjects, I’ve found it really is beneficial to have more than one file.

I switched over and it is super fast. I don’t subscribe anymore but I still have a ton of text in there - around 10,000 bullets.
Dynalist is cool for sure, but it has always been slower at scale. Now it’s even more of a difference.

Workflowy development seems to be out of hibernation, a couple of people hired and multiple updates recently about current development efforts.
