Hi jaslar, I’m glad you’re liking Moo.do!
We currently have an exporter on the desktop app, but not yet on mobile. We are working on fixing copy/paste on mobile and we’re looking into setting up sharing between apps.
We are planning a Google Calendar integration, among integrations with many other services. That will be part of the core of our business model. We will have a monthly subscription for advanced features such as integrations with other services, among other premium features.
Reloading whenever you go back to Moo.do is certainly annoying. We’re working on background refresh for the iOS app now, so it will stay updated and pull in remote changes in the background. We will look at improving that on Android next. We also have a big performance boost coming, so even if it does reload, it’ll be much faster :).
Thanks a lot for all the feedback. And feel free to email us, send feedback through the app, or talk to us on Twitter @MooDoApp if you’d like.

And again, thanks for posting here. The Outliner folks, as youv’e seen, are keenly interested in this kind of software, and I’ve yet to find a more knowledgeable source of both discovery and analysis. We’re also grateful to have the opportunity to influence the direction of such applications.
>We currently have an exporter on the desktop app, but not yet on mobile.
Perfectly reasonable to begin with. But I’m finding that I do a lot of work on the road with my iPad - the ability to just grab and email would be handy. I’m not sure I need lots of export options.

Thank you. That would do it.

Also logical.

More good news.
Some software is just fun to use, hitting that balance between just enough functions to be genuinely useful, but with a UI that doens’t have too steep a learning curve. Moo.do sits pretty close to the sweet spot.

Hi Jay, it’s always great to meet innovative developers eager for feedback. Moo.do is an interesting take at a universal problem and I for one will be testing it extensively within the context of my collaborative projects.
There is one aspect in which I am interested in more than the features: the viability of your business model. Can you provide some more info on this?
See this thread for some important and hopefully thought-provoking background:

A relevant quote of my own from the tread: “As awkward as this may seem, I am reluctant to trust our work on a free tool. So, can you provide some more info on how you plan to make money to support your valuable service?”

Some of the Stylish WorkFlowy add-ons even allow you to display the inline notes as expanded for the whole outline (WorkFlowy only shows the first line of a note normally), turning it into a proper single-pane outliner with inline notes.
See e.g.
https://userstyles.org/styles/64623/workflowy-expanded-notes
Or if you prefer a dark theme, try

which works well in combination with

Just came across the Tile Tabs add-on for Firefox (actually “Split Screen” add-on has stopped working in Chrome for some reason), which works great for creating multiple docked windows for WorkFlowy (for me two suffice though). I’m very impressed with one, it’s highly customisable:

P.S. On my Win7 PC is switched back from Chrome to Firefox as I found that the multitude of Chrome processes needed to run the various Chrome tabs have been using too much RAM and affecting my PC’s performance. It appears to be a lot quicker to have Google Drive tabs (Sheets mainly, and Google Calendar) running in Firefox than in Chrome for some strange reason…
