    I think it would be fair to call Dynalist a superset of Workflowy; the former does everything the latter can do, and more. Dynalist was built because its creators were Workflowy users who were unhappy with its stagnant development.

    I have a similar frustration as you, and haven't found anything really suitable. But I've recently discovered Dynalist and am quite a fan. Cool features include:

    • Unlimited nesting of lists
    • Ability to sync to Dropbox/Google Drive via plain text (or OPML). Free version is manual backup only, but premium has automatic sync
    • Generally really nice clean design imo
    • Very responsive, active, user-focused development team

    +1 for Minecraft. Hands down, it's the most versatile game I've ever played, and years later that $15 purchase continues to pay off.

    A real user would still use the API through a third-party client, but that type of usage is much different than a bot's

    I think the phenomenon you're describing is characteristic of many popular educational content on, say, YouTube. It often makes you feel like you are learning something, regardles of whether you are actually learning substantially. This is not to say that this is a bad thing, as the goal of making your audience feel like they have learned something may be a very good goal, but it's an interesting discussion to be had nonetheless.
