You'll have to login in once after you download and launch Fluid. <br /><br /><br />What's really cool, is that you can have Fluid select the WorkFlowy favicon to be the Application icon. I then "dock" my WorkFlowy App along with my other most used Mac Apps. Check it out, it's pretty cool. <br /><br /><br />Oh, one more thing, with Fluid, you can change as many URL's as you like into an Application.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-55505797896819441072013-08-20T16:43:07.801-07:002013-08-20T16:43:07.801-07:00I haven't tried Ecco or ThinkTank, so I can...I haven't tried Ecco or ThinkTank, so I can't speak for those programs.

The tags are awesome and provide great navigation. The new Star pages are great and enhance navigation. You can add hyperlinks, so you can easily go to key websites. You can even use it as a group or share certain items with others, keeping the rest locked up and secure. To me, the $5 monthly fee for unlimited items is so worth it! I've even started creating an account for my family to increase and enhance our communication with each other.Dave Sharpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-8076609471661295162013-05-29T20:34:43.657-07:002013-05-29T20:34:43.657-07:00I can definitely see how it'd be useful for bo...I can definitely see how it'd be useful for both of those purposes.Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-7763029814090557142013-05-29T18:59:45.716-07:002013-05-29T18:59:45.716-07:00I used Workflowy to keep track of my job hunt, and...I used Workflowy to keep track of my job hunt, and my wife uses it pretty consistently to keep track of her to-do list.Peter Reynardhttp://writebywriting.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-4012648874580781552013-05-25T12:25:08.980-07:002013-05-25T12:25:08.980-07:00Hi Joey!

You're completely right about it working pretty effortlessly, which is something I really like about the app. <br /><br /><br />As for the security thing...<br /><br /><br />While I won't write my novel there (or store it online in a program like that), I don't worry at all about keeping my notes or outlines online. It might be a personal thing, but I don't think hackers are really all that interested in someone's novel notes. And even if someone DID see your notes prematurely, they'd still have to write the novel. :) <br /><br /><br />So in short, I wouldn't worry too much about it.Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-60693834517320307772013-05-25T10:47:04.147-07:002013-05-25T10:47:04.147-07:00I have just tried workflowy, based on your recomme...I have just tried workflowy, based on your recommendation, and I love it! It really is easy to use and the ideas really seem to FLOW right onto the page effortlessly! I hae tried several other list/mindmap/note-taking apps and workflowy is by far the best.<br /><br />...but I admit to a certain reluctance at keeping the my novel on their servers. I know it's as secure as any other server based app, or banking, etc, but for some reason keeping my writing notes and chapter outlines online really scares me. <br /><br />what are your thoughts on this?joeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-4338994620150499812013-05-23T14:09:03.964-07:002013-05-23T14:09:03.964-07:00Yes!

Sometimes I use them for writing lists as well. Actually I have a lot of lists around me right now, and I find it useful to have all of them in sight at the same moment. And I really like to use a pen for doing this. Moreover my PC screen is too small. Not that it is really small, but it's smaller than a table or even the floor, where I can arrange all my papers much easily :)Carlahttp://www.anakina.netnoreply@blogger.com
