Wow. That landing page is bad. I learned that some successful people and businesses use Workflowy, but I didn’t learn what Workflowy is or why I might need it. Is the desktop page better than the mobile one?



Nope, there's nothing on the desktop page either. I have no idea what Workflowy is after visiting the site. There's an email list signup, a login button, and some blurbs about how Twitter and the NYT use the software. But nowhere that explains or shows what the software is.

Edit: Wait! Click on the tiny barely-readable links in the bottom corner of the page (at least on desktop) that say "List Maker" or "Online Notepad" (they both are different URLs, but link to the same page). Then you get an interactive demo.

After looking at that demo, I think Disco is ahead feature- and presentation-wise. I don't see any way to do the status tracking/people pictures/coloring showcased on Disco's landing page in Workflowy.

Yeah, this looks like the author is too happy doing SEO shenanigans and multiple landing pages, while forgetting to make the root page useful...

I saw those links and clicked on one. I thought that it was for a different product!


Another gem: "you're not using chrome, our officially supported mobile browser".

At least that's for a webapp, not for a landing page, but still...
