Single page/document outliner (like Workflowy)?

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone was aware of other single page/document outliners, such as Workflowy?

By single page/document I mean that your whole ‘vault’ of notes is a single outline of nested notes. As far as I can see, most note-taking/zettelkasten apps are either note-based (like Obsidian) or block-based (like Logseq or Roam). Yet even the block-based outliners rely on you creating individual pages/notes that contain the blocks and to which you can then link to.

What I enjoy most about Workflowy, however, is the fact that all your notes are part of a single outline; that there is no difference between a block and a page. This makes it much easier for me to start writing (I don’t have to worry where a note goes, if I should create a new note for an idea or add it to an old note etc.) and to quickly reorganise my notes.

I was wondering if anyone knows of other outliners that work in a similar way, i.e. keep all your notes in a single nested document?

Thanks!
