Are you going to have a desktop downloaded app with one time payment no subscription with unlimited features?

It’s not in our road map right now but if there is a demand for that we can add that. We are mainly focused on subscription based model as we provide cloud solution (so there are server and computing costs we need to cover). However if you do not need the app for some time you can cancel the subscription (we will return your money for the rest of the mont/year) and you can still access your files. Only thing is that you can edit just the number of documents that you have in free plan (10 by default but you can increase the quota by inviting people - 3 documents per invitation), other documents are read only and you can’t edit them until you start the subscription or increase your free quota of documents.

Interesting! May I ask what, if any, features do you plan to add that supercede those of Freeplane? As background: whenever I need to grok a larger concept or chomp through a large collection of material, I fire up Freeplane. (It's a fork of Freemind, a desktop application written in Java, it's under GPL and runs fully locally, see freeplane.org) You already mentioned a Markdown to map input path. That is a good idea…

Yes, it’s on our road map.

Why use this over Trello or a Google doc? Feel like I'd be paying for some pretty markdown text.

Because we help you to organize and store your knowledge. The brain works better visually then verbally and that’s the reason we are combining the world of notes and mind maps together.
