Apparently WorkFlowy has outgrown its database and moving to a new database model:

What is the crux of his argument (sorry, haven't got the time to watch the whole thing, but if you have, would appreciate your summary of the key takeaway)? Cheers.

Handwriting recognition?
5/24/2017

It's already been mentioned, but might be worth pointing it out specifically once more, for the benefit of those who've been asking for an offline version of WorkFlowy, that such a thing now exists fo...
