Ask HN: What are good self-hosted outliner apps like Workflowy and Dynalist?

5 pointsby mailjenilover 3 years ago
I really like outliner apps because they incentives to structure notes in an hierarchal fashion. It really helps with problem solving and learning new skills.<p>I am looking for self-hosted option of outliner apps. I checked and Dynalist and Workflowy dont support self hosted version.

There&#x27;s vimflowy [1] which which you can try out for yourself using the developers hosting [2] and then if you wish to host if yourself you can using docker [3] . There&#x27;s also an option to point the developer hosted version at firebase [4] .<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;WuTheFWasThat&#x2F;vimflowy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;WuTheFWasThat&#x2F;vimflowy</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wuthejeff.com&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;#" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wuthejeff.com&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;#</a> [3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.docker.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.docker.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;</a> [4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;WuTheFWasThat&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;docs&#x2F;storage&#x2F;README.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;WuTheFWasThat&#x2F;vimflowy&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;docs&#x2F;s...</a>

All these apps are effectively copying org-mode features.<p>Have you tried just using org-mode?<p>Or did you specifically want a self hosted but online solution on a vps somewhere?
