Sensational return of Cloud Outliner

The more I use Cloud Outliner 2, the more frustrated I am by its limitations. Looking around I found Listacular which is much closer to what I’d like, but it hasn’t been updated in nearly a year. Unlike CO2 it supports merging items by hitting delete at the start of an item and splitting items by hitting carriage return (CO2 doesn’t even have a CR button). Also very useful, the iOS keyboard’s autocomplete menu is visible when editing items, as well as a dedicated formatting bar. It supports some basic markdown formatting, tags(!), and allows you to mix checklist and text items. All this is much better for me when compared with CO2. However, listacular doesn’t support the iOS “open in” dialog, it doesn’t export as OPML, doesn’t allow you to collapse/expand or zoom the outline (CO2 doesn’t support zooming either), and doesn’t allow selecting multiple elements. Comparing the strengths and limitations of each app, it seems to me that Listacular is much closer to what I want. I can even work around the missing “open in” command by opening the file in any app that supports Dropbox, such as the official Dropbox app or Editorial. I also tested pasting a Listacular list into Workflowy on the desktop and it worked without a hitch. I just worry that it isn’t being actively developed any more…
