Thank you for sharing this. Interesting to learn Workflowy. Bullet-based note-taking with backlinks is trendy. I still need to get used to it though... Learning curve is always my concerns.

I personally use Notion and Obsidian for several purposes. Notion has its own web clipper so it's easier for me to collect online resources and organize them. I think I'm using Notion as a database. I know some people use Notion as to share their reading list with the world, and it's an interesting use case. Obsidian is more technical one. With its customizable aspects, it's fun creating my own systems to leave and organize my thoughts. I use Obsidian to keep my daily thoughts.

The only thing that I miss for these note-taking apps is that social aspects. I think I'm a semi-avid reader and sometimes would like to share thoughts with other like-minded people around the content. I think what I'm looking for is like a book club for web articles + like-minded people through my interest. Twitter works good in this way but not specific enough... recently I use Glasp for this purpose and this works good. I can find like-minded people and learn from them.

Sorry for the long comment. Anyway, note-taking is once of my interests and thank you for sharing great insight all the time!

Interesting to learn Workflowy is back in active development. I was a longtime user and switched in 2017 to Dynalist since Workflowy seemed like it had been abandoned. I still use Dynalist and recommend it.
