What is it?

WorkFlowy is a minimalist outlining & note-taking application. This Chrome extension allows you to designate a WorkFlowy sublist as your "inbox" and quickly save notes to it.

How to use it

Install the Chrome extension:

Setup the extension:

  • Browse to WorkFlowy in a browser tab and ensure you are logged in.

  • Click the new toolbar icon.

  • In the popup, click "Resynchronize with WorkFlowy".

  • Zoom into the list that you want to designate as your inbox. Then in the popup, press "Make current list your inbox".

Clip something:

  • When visiting a page that you want to save, or whenever you have an idea that you'd like to jot down, just press the WorkFlowy toolbar icon.

  • You can also set a keyboard shortcut, by using the "Keyboard shortcuts" link at the bottom of chrome://extensions.

To-do:

  • Actively 'push_and_poll' WorkFlowy to detect online/logged-in status.

  • Show "busy working" status indicator when clip button is pressed

  • Reasonable error handling in the case that inbox destination got deleted

  • Option to append/prepend to inbox list.

  • Separate configuration screen so that internal workflowy sublists can be clipped as well
