An open source productivity tool drawing inspiration from workflowy and vim

Vimflowy

This is a productivity tool which draws some inspiration from workflowy and vim.

(Video coming eventually...)

FEATURES

Workflowy features
- tree-like outlining
- collapsing and zooming into bullets
- basic text formatting, strike through task completion
Vim features
- (configurable) vim keybindings
- modal editing
- undo history, location history, macros, etc.
Plugins system (see plugins.md)
- marks (not like vim's)
- easy-motion for moving between bullets quickly
- time-tracking
- LaTeX and HTML rendering
Other
- data import/export
- loads data lazily (good for huge documents)
- search (not like vim's)
- cloning (bullets duplicated in multiple locations in a document)
- different visual themes

Tested mostly in recent Chrome and Firefox. You may need a relatively modern browser.
No collaborative editing
Global search is slow for large documents (so you'll want to use marks)

Vimflowy was designed to work with multiple storage backends.

By default, the app is entirely local meaning:

Your data is never sent over the internet, so you can only use it in one browser on one device
Vimflowy works offline

It uses HTML5's localStorage, so:

If you're going to have a very large document, use a browser with large localStorage limits, e.g. Firefox
Be warned that if you don't set up remote storage, clearing localStorage will result in you losing all your data!

If you enable a remote storage backend, then:

Currently, the only storage backend implemented is Firebase. See here for details on how to set this up.

Please contact the dev team if you are interested in other storage backends.

Contributions are very welcome! See dev_setup.md to see how to get started with a development setup.
