They have their mindmapping software running in HTML and Javascript since it was called "DHTML"
They focus a crazy amount of time on UX improvements.
Example of their mindmaps: http://www.mindmeister.com/de/107112097/how-to-organize-a-ba...
I 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)?
Thanks! For ID generation, take a look at the source: https://github.com/drichard/mindmaps/blob/master/src/js/Util...
Never call anything "intuitive". Chances are overwhelming that it isn't for the majority of people. For the programmer himself, even a "change into meta-workflow-hyper-mode" may seem intuitive, but for someone who never has used a computer, even the moving and clicking of a mouse is _not_ intuitive. "Intuitive" is a completely subjective concept. A reviewer or user may say "this feels intutive to me", but the program…

You could say that about almost every adjective. Your logic seems to imply that no one should ever dare hold an opinion or make an assertion.
For "intuitive" on the other hand, even the meaning of the word is not clear. I think that it means "aligns well with one's previous experiences". That, however, means that it is idiotic to say that "this UI is intuitive", just as it is idiotic to say that "this line is orthogonal"---you have to specify _to_what_ that line is orthogonal, and _to_whom_ the UI is intuitive.
Very nice UI, except that it uses the dreaded scroll wheel zoom. Especially annoying for magic mouse users.
Hum, I have never used a magic mouse. Can you explain what the problem is?
Google maps has the same problem for me. I prefer to use the scroll wheel only for scrolling.
How does it differ from http://www.mindmeister.com/ ?
I've been reading a lot, opening a lot of tabs, and taking a lot of notes lately. I'm finding that organizing things by date/time works really well for making sense of piles of stuff.
I'd like to be able to throw things onto a timeline and then later read back the timeline in chronological order to get a sense of what kinds of trends are at work.
Any great recommendations will be much appreciated!
As someone who makes extensive use of mind mapping and outlining tools, this is very ho-hum. The keyboard shortcuts are nearly non-existent, which immediately kills it. There is also no control over layout. For small maps the fan-out format is fine but for large maps, you really need a format that looks more like a vertical outline. For an example of outlining done right, check out http://www.checkvist.com/ (I am not…
