What is Reddit's opinion of MindNode?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I’ll try to recommend a productivity app that doesn’t usually get mentioned in threads like these.

MindNode is a killer app for creative brainstorming and thinking. I use it as a giant canvas for storing thoughts, expanding on ideas, taking notes, and a big repository for unorganized information I might need later. Kind of like an evolving wiki for myself.

I used to use Evernote for this, but the layout makes way more sense for how my brain works. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely for me.

I'm surprise MindNode hasn't been mentioned already, as it is more specifically oriented to "idea management" than note taking: https://mindnode.com

MindNode makes mind mapping easy. Mind maps are a visual representation of your ideas, starting with a central thought and growing from there.

My favorite Mind-mapping app has a great series of screencasts that go into topics like 'Why Should You Mind Map', 'Brainstorming', and other topics. Even if you don't use the software, the concepts apply to paper mind mapping equally well. Check it out.

In addition to Miro, I've used https://www.flowmapp.com/ and https://mindnode.com/

But it's been a while since I did a serious IA effort, so there might be better tools out there now.

Have a great day!

Mindmapping has changed my creative life. Seriously.

If you're on a Mac or iPad, I highly recommend MindNode. It's so good that I want to put everything in there as step 1 of a project.

If you are looking for paid options, then I would suggest looking at these two : iThoughts. It is a little more advanced than MindNode, which might have a nicer UI.

Both these have macOS versions and sync thru iCloud, if that will be of interest to you.

I tried to reconstruct the tree of podcast discovery for podcasts that I have listened to or that I am currently listening to. The tree was constructed using the MindNode iOS/macOS application with data based on my best recollection of where I discovered a particular podcast.

The tree shows four types of discovery sources: YouTube channels, other podcasts, people or podcast networks. The low confidence discovery links are then represented by dashed lines.

I also do a lot of mind mapping in Mind Node and then import the salient conclusions into Scrivener using OPML. I also use Curio to make a storybook/scrapbook containing research/mood boards and all the material files.

Hey there 🙂

We still do want to cover every topic of Learn Anything website with an appropriate mind map of each topic.

Until then, I will be sharing all the Anki decks I have made in my wiki here. I hope to add things there soon.

As for good mind mapping software, I use MindNode and really like. Haven'y really tried anything else.

OK

MindNode is mind-mapping software for the Mac. There are similar apps for Windows. Mind-mapping is a kind of visual outlining.

Most mind-mapping courses emphasize radial maps that start at the center and move outwards. I prefer using a left-to-right tree structure. It's kind of like taking notes with post-its and then arranging them with connections that indicate relationships.

I like MindNode because it's fast and has keyboard shortcuts so I can do fast brainstorming without taking my keys off the keyboard. It's also pretty to look at, although I use a very minimalist grey-on-grey theme.

OPML stands for Outline Processor Markup Language. It's an interchange format similar to XML invented so that outlining programs could share data even across platforms. Most outlining and mind-mapping apps can I/O OPML.

Scrivener is a word-processing app that works with index cards. Each index card can contain as little as one word or as much as an entire screenplay. That means you can have a card for a scene, a card for a line of dialogue, a card for Act III -- whatever your process requires.

I brainstorm in MindNode, and do some basic organization. Sort of like the shoebox method. When I have things as organized as I like, I export it as OPML, then import it into Scrivener.

In Scrivener, the same hierarchy I put together in MindNode is now represented in cards. Now I can start writing scenes based on the cards, and start building the draft. After that, rewrites. The last pass, I save the script as FDX and open in Final Draft. After final proofing, I output to PDF from Final Draft.

Hey there.

Depends on what you need. If you're only using vector shapes then Illustrator would be my go to. Otherwise Photoshop or InDesign.

There's software created especially for mind mapping, which may help you get a professional-looking result faster. In the past I used MindNode (https://mindnode.com/) but a quick google will reveal lots of good options too.

Good luck!

I have 2 extra Brians I use a-lot for the last 5 years or so TheBrain12 for Win/Mac And MindNode exclusively for Mac/IOs, I have yearly subscriptions with both MindNode gets the most use from me than any.

Not directly MindMap app per se but more of a knowledge map. I really like TheBrain (https://thebrain.com) It’s rather expensive but there’s a free version and also a 30 day trial.

Otherwise I’d also go with MindNode (https://mindnode.com)

It’s a great idea. I use a lot the great MindNode app (mind mapping) and they added recently a focus mode feature working more or less like what you suggest and I love it.

The oflow app is sadly no longer available on the App Store. I have used it a few times. It was great.

I have yet to find a good mind mapping app. There is Mindnode, but it doesn't have the right feel.

For Business Model Canvas, there is Lean Canvas. I'm considering coding a variant of this app.

How I made this to prove I don't repost

• I screenshotted the finish version using control, command, and the 4-key on my mac
• I used Mindnode to make this.
• Also this is fun as hell to make too!

I know you asked for only one, yet...

As you can see, in all of those cases those who purchased a more recent version of the software (or just purchased it more recently, time-wise) get to pay less. I deliberately picked random examples to show how this is not dependent on a specific business field, but if that’s not enough don’t worry: you can simply just Google “upgrade price” for more!

MindNode for brainstorming/mind-mapping out some ideas.

Other than that, recently I like to quarantine most of my creative work away from my phone where distractions can't eat into it. Some on pen and paper, and mostly deep/focused work on a PC.

Like a programming editor. I'm thinking about how you can reimagine programming in VR right now.

Also, in my day job, I'm working on MindNode. That's an app that's predestined for VR. However, I'm very sure that I can't get that employer to pay for anything like that.

I love MindNode. I don't know how huge HUGE means, but MindNode has helped me create maps that fill a tabloid-sized sheet with lots of detail. The development is quite active and the creators are responsive to customer input and questions.

I love mindnode or mindmeister and several items Mind Mapping Tools for Designers

I've got one and I couldn't be happier. Pretty light to carry around, lasts long on battery.

I use Ulysses for writing and MindNode for ideas and outlining.

Have you tried a program for it? I used one for a project brainstorming meeting and it was very helpful. Since I knew I could go back to make it pretty later without losing any content, I could focus on putting ideas down as quickly as possible. I can also usually type faster than I can write, as long as I'm not trying to lay out the information, so the mind mapping app was perfect. I jotted notes and either just had to hit enter on the same topic or click over once to add it to a different topic. Then when we went back to fill in details, it automatically resized and organized for me, something that's always caused me issues on paper.

I use https://mindnode.com on a Mac, but there are tons of programs out there.

I'm using a mindmap to plan out some conceptual ideas for my current project and I'm finding it's really helping me organize things in a way that a text file or spreadsheet weren't able to do.

I'm using MindNode. What do you use?
