Personally, I've found Workflowy [https://workflowy.com] to be indispensable not just for keeping track of ideas, but for then turning those ideas into something real.

Loads in any browser, has a (barebones) mobile app, and it's great for collaboration. I just hope their business model is enough to keep them afloat :/

I LOVE this app, but it's run by 2 guys with a paid base that I question is large enough to sustain them in the long run. I can't trust my data (my life?) to a web-app like this, when you have stable systems like Evernote, Asana, or even Trello that are going nowhere for the next few years.

Will Workflowy be there a year from now? Can you trust that if hacked your data is secure? I'm not 100% sure. Still, I hope they can create a stable business with sustained growth because it's such a great great idea.

They do have an export feature, which you can use to backup your data.

Workflowy is great. All the updates get emailed to me and this is sufficient backup for how I use the app.

I couldn't agree more. I subscribed as soon as the guys from Workflowy offered a paid version. It's a tool I have open every day.

i love workflowy too although I find myself using Trello more often. I keep my weekly schedule on workflowy.

I've been using Trello for a few weeks now. Is there a resource out there that can show me how power users are using it so I can really max it out?
