#2As someone who's used several outliners, this looks like a neat tool.
I'm curious why you decided to call this a "mind-mapping tool", which makes me think of visual graphs rather than textual hierarchies. Can you talk about that decision?

I agree with the “mind map” terminology. The defining feature of a mind map is that it is a visual process displayed as a diagram with colors, icons, etc. Without those things specifically, you have an outliner.
This looks like a neat outliner, but it is not a mind mapping tool.

#4Looks cool, I always loved the hierchical nested node structures (like folders or e.g. trees) to organize my data.
Would you be willing to tell what your tech stack is like? And what are you using for Rich text editors?
Great work tho. Looks good.

#6Nice tool. Some feedback: The drag and drop functionality has some accessibility issues: it works with a mouse, but not keyboard navigation. This interface would be difficult to use with mobility issues: moving items requires fine-grained gesture control.
If you're interested in an accessible implementation of drag and drop, here's one I've encountered that does an excellent job:

#7What are the differences compared to WorkFlowy?

#8I just stopped using such tools and use visual studio code and file system. Folders and text files I can grep it and I can keep history in git.

#9https://gingkoapp.com/ is another similar app.
Like some of the other commenters in the thread, I gave up on these apps and went back to using filesystem folders/files.

#10This is categorically not a mind map.
Mind Maps are visual in ther organisation and structure.
