Ok, here on this site we have only ever recommended our readers to try some software on two occasions The first time was back in January 2005 – not that many people had heard of Skype back then but it went on to become one of the most used application on the net. In fact its difficult to think of the internet now without Skype for free telephoning.
The second time was back in January 2012 to recommend dropbox, the free service that let people bring their documents, photos and videos anywhere and share them easily. This too is now used for cloud computing by millions of people.
So what are we recommending this time ?
Workflowy, a lovely and quick little Web-based app for making nested lists, embraces both simplicity and interactive design.
It is the best thing since pen and paper, or rather it’s pen and paper on steroids, the way it should be.
When computers and mobile devices spread, we got many new tools for brainstorming, compiling to-dos and so on. Those tools were somehow better than paper, but also different, so none of us went totally paperless and kept using some notebooks, mostly for brainstorming.
WorkFlowy is different. It adapts naturally to the way our mind is used to working. It does not aim to substitute paper, but sort of improves it. There is room for WorkFlowy to improve, but believe me this is the best organizing tool ever.
Give it a try, after a couple of days you will wonder how on earth did organise your life without it
