I don't see a pricing page. If I'm going to add a new tool to my workflow, it better be around for a long time. How is Workflowy planning on staying in business?

As an aside, Lifehacker seems to be eating my back button on Chrome. Even selecting HN from the history would just keep reloading the page and wouldn't bring me back to where I wanted to go.

It looks like they're maybe not marketing it heavily right now, but in the web app under settings there's an upgrade to pro option - its $4.99 a month or $49 a year and gets you dropbox sync, themes, extra fonts and unlimited lists / items.

I was excited about this project when it first came out. But I needed offline access, sharing, and mobile for it to be useful to me. I'll admit I assumed the project died, but glad to hear it's alive and kicking! (And that all my initial complaints are addressed.) I'll definitely be checking this out.

So, do i understand this right that they had a web app which they turned into an iOS app to support offline operation? If so, why? I've done offline web apps before, and they're not easy but still easier than porting to a whole different platform.

I wish more developers would stick to a pure web approach instead of going the app route. Quite often i find the lack of integration with the web of a native app to be a dealbreaker.

They still have a web app that is awesome, this is just another interface to the data you can get to in the web app.

This is pretty much the web app bundled in an app. Works almost the same except has some conveniences to assist with the lack of keyboard & mouse.
