Originally created by @ademlabs on GitHub (Jul 20, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/3034

Description

Would be interesting to have OPML import/export for compatibility between multiple applications.
Currently trying to test out AppFlowy coming from Dynalist (and previously Workflowy). I previously imported my OPML data from Workflowy to Dynalist and would now have like to move from Dynalist to AppFlowy.

Impact

Migrating from other applications.
Interoperation when using multiple applications.

Additional Context

No response

So you could import/export your data from/to Workflowy, Dynalist. What other note taking apps, that are using OPML, are there?

Omnioutliner:

Logseq has OPML support but current has some bugs.

Tana

OPML importer: https://github.com/tanainc/tana-import-tools

Freeplane

These are what I recall. There are some additional apps out there that work similarly and offer OPML import/export.
