Like you mentioned on the about page, image saving would be a nice addition, but it is already quite usable with Local Storage. Another cool feature would be the ability to attach documents to a branch. Do you have it up on github/bitbucket yet? Great work.

#15I really like the way you implemented the "drag to create a branch" mechanic, it feels very natural. Did you come up with that yourself? Have you seen it elsewhere?
As cool as the red drop drag is, implementing some standard keys for this will help those who do a lot of mind mapping from the keyboard only. Other than that, looks good so far.
edit: As pointed out there are no INS keys on macbooks. Will change this to TAB key ASAP.

#16From what I can see you started this as a concept which is why it doesn't have advanced features like saving etc. I think saving is probably the most important one. I tried it on chromebook and works great, saves to local storage. Some other persistence, like on your site would be great. Well actually since I am complaining, and this is open source :) (silly right?!) I am used to closed ones where you have to ask dev to implement feature.
Great work, thanks.

#17The UI on this is lovely. What is keeping my office from switching to this is sharing ability. Instead of a file base system, consider having it work like google spreadsheets where I can create a link, specify if it read only or editable, and share it around. A nit pick. Your directions are well written and awesome, but when I create new items, please slide them down so they don't cover my ideas.
It's a dream to use, congrats on putting something so impressive together.

#18I love the intuitive nature of this tool. Well thought out. Just curious, how are you generating the id of each node (eg. bc970e26-8d1c-4c92-baf0-aa9f3f792266)?
For ID generation, take a look at the source: https://github.com/drichard/mindmaps/blob/master/src/js/Util...

#19Very nice UI, except that it uses the dreaded scroll wheel zoom. Especially annoying for magic mouse users.
