Questions
Can sharing allow editing?

I poked around ZetaBee Text for the last 5 minutes and am getting excited. I liked the concept, but not the keyboard shortcut style of workflowy.com. This is way closer. The "How…
johnnyg on HNJust tried ZetaBee Text, it's really great! Switched from WorkFlowy. Feedback: 1. Why you have to limit length of the title? 2. Please add line-based bold, italic and color…
