Hello,

Long time lurker. Thanks for the discussions.

Check out https://transno.com - interesting, turns outlines into mindmaps.

I have no affiliation with transno. I just saw it on Product Hunt, and thought it looked like a great outliner to try

Thanks for this. Well it looks and feels like Dynalist. Many of the same commands, including hoisting. I started with it on my Android phone, and it immediately felt very familiar. Then I went online, and it still feels like Dynalist. You’re working withe the same files, and they synch easily and automatically. The one click to mind map is interesting and even works pretty well on mobile. Rearranging things through drag and drop is maybe a little easier than Dynalist on the phone, too—although this is never as “intuitive” as I seem to think it should be. It does images, colors, and text effects without the Dynalist markdown-like codes. Most things are done through the keyboard ribbon, which works well enough. It has search, although only within the open file, I think. It exports to word, PDF, HTML, OPML, and images. The mindmaps can be exported to Freemind.

Transno comes with lots of templates, too, although I don’t know as they’re particularly insightful or unique.

So on the one hand, good to see another outliner. And right now, beta is free. It seems a little pared down, but is perfectly usable. As a registered Dynalist user, I don’t know if I see a unique advantage. And I haven’t built anything large enough to really test the search.

Second thought: the feature is mindmap on mobile. Not only is it fast and readable, but there are also a number of themes for the mind maps that are attractive.

Given that Dynalist started as a Workflowy clone and then evolved to surpass it, I welcome this Dynalist clone and hope to see them evolve in new directions as well. Since I don’t personally find mindmaps useful I don’t see much need for this for myself, but given that Dynalist’s iOS app is still not great, hopefully some competition will be a good thing.
