I have never used evernote, so I can't say anything about your use case, but wrt point 2, you should give http://workflowy.com a try.



What is Workflowy? The page is just asking for me to signup without providing any details on what it is, and then there is a bunch of people saying how great it is.


I agree, their pre-signup information is lacking. No screenshots, no pricing info, no "what the hell is it", just a signup form.

I signed up recently after seeing repeated recommendations on HN however and its actually very good and I've started using it quite a bit already. I'm not sure that I could explain it sufficiently here so I'll just say try signing up and give it a go (it didn't ask me to even confirm my email address so getting started was pretty quick).


Umm there is a video demo and links?

That's not helpful. I'll summarize that page.

From: How to Plan your Wedding...without going insane

1. Sign up for WorkFlowy 2. Create a project list and 'zoom in.' 3. Create sections for the major components of your project 4. Fill out the details 5. Use #tags and @tags to filter your lists 6. Share your list with your collaborators 7. Mark things as complete as you finish them. 8. Complete your project


Essentially? An online outliner, with filtering by tags.


+1 for workflowy. I have been using it for more than 2 years now. Can't live without it.


There should be a place where I could shout my "love" for it. For years I have played with notes, lists, mindmapping software. Sometimes I think it was not created but "discovered". That workflowy is to life , what lisp is to software... i.e. the right way to program !
