Wow, whiscal is really nice!

I did a research recently and settled with xmind but I don't really like it.

I'm definitely gonna try whiscal.

XMind is pretty good personal cross-platform tool for mind-mapping for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

One tiny shortcoming: Cyclic graph cannot be create (view is ok) on iOS platform but can be done on other platforms. Acyclic is a given.

One great feature is when it gets too big, graft-and-paste to a separate document is available.

Collaboration between devices of same account is excellent.

Whimsical is not supported on Android?!

That was so close (to supporting all major platforms). XMind can do it all.

Mindmeister.com does not support mobile platforms directly. Might be able to allow changes by website.
