That’s true. Checkvist is a decent outliner service for the price, but interface and backend development has been glacial for years. When Dynalist started getting more traction and mindshare it woke up Workflowy (which Dynalist’s developers admit was their target and model, as Workflowy stopped iterating for several years), and they have made Workflowy a better, frictionless product with added features like kanban nodes and ‘mirrored’ nodes (clones).
As good as Dynalist is for me it is not worth $96/yr, even if one were to snag 50% off for one of those years. I’d much sooner pay $49 for Workflowy, or $45/yr for Craft’s pro tier, which offers collaboration, commenting, better text styling and colors, favorites and folders, and more export options. (I know one person who’s experimenting with using Craft for writing given its Word export.)

Hi Paul,
I think you misunderstood my post, judging from your title “Dynalist enters the “hobby work” phase”.
What I meant was that Dynalist started as a hobby/side project, with no prior experience of the same level (production consumer application), so the quality is not what I wish it could be.
Sorry if I used the wrong word, as English is my native language. Maybe I should replace it with “amateur work”.
In any case, it’s true that Dynalist has received less attention lately, but I never meant that it is going from a commercial project to a hobby project. If anything, we’ll try to bring more updates to Dynalist compared to the past few months.

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement—means a lot to us!
And I remember posting here more than 5 years ago to promote Dynalist. How times flies!

Erica,
Like Bill (Mad About Dana), I am glad to learn Dynalist will continue to evolve. I use it every day and would like to continue to do so.
Thank you for checking in here.
