I understand that it must be difficult to change from the linear, left-to-right tree diagrams, to 360° branching mind-maps… but it’s absolutely critical for a mind-map to be capable of spreading out in a non-linear way, because you’re using it to try to capture your non-linear thinking!Ĭurrently, MarginNote is an important part of my studying - but it’s awkward to jump between multiple apps for different purposes, and it’s not convenient having pieces of your notes on one subject in multiple different locations.

Yes, I’m talking about Miro the whiteboarding app! It has a very nice interface for quickly drawing mind-maps which can spread out in 360° with nice shapes and arrows and colours!Īnother iOS app with a good free-tier that you could try (to demonstrate good mind-mapping) is ThinkSpace - it’s also great for quickly expressing your ideas in a colourful mind-map that can branch out in any direction you want. I’m not very familiar with Obsidian yet unfortunately… Having a mind mapping tool like Miro inside MarginNote would be absolutely wonderful It has a free trial - it would be great if you could try using Miro and learn/replicate as many of its features as possible.

The best mind map app I’ve used is “Miro”, it has excellent functionality. The connecting-lines and the node-shapes in the tree diagram are too rectilinear and plain: I want the ability to have curvy lines and arrows in different colours and thicknesses, and a variety of node-shapes to make the mind map more visually interesting/pleasing, and help with the flow of the information. It’s not good that the tree structure rigidly expands left-to-right: It’s really important to have the ability to move the child-nodes 360° around the parent-node, and expand my mind map out in all directions from a central idea. However, I find the current mind map tool isn’t flexible enough when I’m brainstorming about a subject: Hi, I love MarginNote, thanks for all your work
