Patel’s solution to the problem was to make a note-taking App in which the only data type is the hierarchical list.
It gained an instant following of about 10,000 people and now has more than 1,000,000 registered users. So I was like, I’m just going to start creating a hierarchical interface for myself to manage this stuff.” Patel got to work, and in November 2010, he and Turitzin launched the app. Everything was super-janky and hard to use. “Instead they make you work in a specific way. “The biggest problem with all of them is that they don’t support flexible data structures - they don’t let you define things the way you want,” he says. While at that job, Patel had tried many different programs to help him get organized with his huge project that in turn had a bunch of sub-divided tasks, and he found that nothing worked for him.

The idea for the software grew out of Patel’s work for a nonprofit, “a job that was really overwhelming, where I had to manage a bunch of moving parts for 30 different projects,” he says. WorkFlowy was created by Jesse Patel and Michael Turitzin, friends who took part in the Y Combinator startup camp in 2010. “ Thank you, makes perfect sense!” “ Roger that.” In technical terms, it’s a cross-platform application that allows users to make list(s) items (in unicode text format), nest them, edit them, zoom in/out using the Outliers architecture (internal OPML structure). While that’s right, I would simply tell you it’s more of a list making App that allows you to create and edit the items in your lists and peek into and out from every single item of your list(s) as well.
They say, “WorkFlowy is a zoomable document that provides unprecedented flexibility in organizing our ideas.” This is embarrassing and so stressful.)Īnyways, WorkFlowy’s here to the rescue! Yay! 😀 What’s WorkFlowy ? But you don’t have to give up and carry around this intangible stress at the back of your shoulders (or head, I’m confused. At the end of the day, there could well be 10 checklists with no actual progress on any of the items. As ‘Thermal Stability’ is a separate topic for discussion, we shall by-pass that here today.īack to the point, Everyday you would make a #ToDo checklist, only to crush it & get things done irrevocably and hoping nothing new crops up that never happens, right? The #ToDo list you just made is obsolete even before Breakfast. As the number goes up, it’s more like a thermal nightmare inside. Well now, don’t think of your Amazon order and make it 8. As Humans, we, in our parallel processing unit i.e Brain, can keep track of 7 different tasks in our prime time of the day.
