I agree. Dynalist and OmniOutliner are both outliners, but there are significant differences in their feature sets. Also, Dynalist appears to be under more active development than OO.

Wow, my thoughts are exactly the opposite. Omnioutliner does linking as well as Dynalist, it does dates. It also has columns, does some calculations. Leaves Dynalist in the dust when it comes to styling your content. Allows you to record audio, embeds or links to documents and displays them inline. Has a very powerful filter facility that allows you to set your filter criteria and save that filter. So if you have a document for example, that contains meeting minutes with a column showing if an action is incomplete, you can filter and only see the lines with incomplete actions in the whole document. Sync is extremely solid, or you can use icloud. You can increase the % size of the whole outline almost infinitely so if you need to teach or present from the document you can make it large enough. It exports to many formats, etc, etc…
As much as I liked Dynalist, and appreciate it’s OS ubiquity, if you’re in the macOS eco system I wouldn’t dream of replacing Omnioutliner with Dynalist, not to mention that Dynalist is more expensive. Dynalist simply isn’t as feature rich, which you would expect from a web app.
