Just mind mapping. GREAT. If you know how to use a mouse, you know how to create mind maps. Simplicity at it's best. Thank you. -

Summary

MindNode is fast, intuitive and attractive.
Mindmapping for Mac users.
You sit down and go to work.
And the results are brilliant.
Thank heavens MindMap doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the competition. It means you can get real work done quickly.
Best new program this year. -
"by far the most useful, easiest-to-use mind mapping..."
Version: MindNode Lite 1.1.1
Summary
...app
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I'm reposting this from a post I wrote on MacUpdate.com:
hi everyone. i noticed this app doesnt NEARly get the same amount of downloads as its "competitors".
first of all, MindNode (whether intentionally or not), fits users that are more visually-geared. i mean by being able to easily manipulate the visual location, color, and position of a group of nodes with the child nodes, all with little effort and thinking makes this app very appealing to me. there was a lot in that sentence.
there are like 2 keyboard shortcuts for you to know, then you can drag and place: a single node, a group of nodes either fellow sibling nodes and/or its child nodes and organize them in a way that makes the most sense for you.
im really surprised this app doesn't get infinite downloads a week. but i tried a look at the other apps (like MyMind, MindJet, NovaMind & FreeMind) to see what the reasons might be that they are so much popular.
first i notice they are much more text based. i mean that you write an outline, then it shows you a visual representation of a mind map. now you can move around the nodes in the mind map and they pretty just change the order of topics in the outline. now, this is good because it keeps your outline updated. there are set of rules in order to make that happen, so you cant really put the nodes any-gosh-darn-where you freely choose.
now i guess that's good because it keeps your outline updated, but what if you don't give a *censored* about an outline just yet? you, being a visual thinker, just want to put your ideas somewhere and arrange them visually. after some rearranging you will pretty much have a better idea of which are the main(est) ideas, separated into topics, subtopics, facts and analysis.
so in short, this is the best mind mapping software for visually-based thinkers. while the others help you focus on writing the outline/paper while a mind map helps you visualize.
obviously no software is perfect, which is why i gave 4 out of 5 stars under value. so developers, please perfect it. sorry to leave you hanging, but i don't feel like getting to much into it right now.
im tired. -

A grid showing page boundaries or some kind of print optimizer would be helpful. -
"Very promising"
Version: MindNode Lite 1.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is a very promising application which starts off doing what some of the big bucks apps seem to refuse to do -- attempting to implement true Tony Buzan mind maps properly.
Right now it only does text -- but it does it properly, on the stems, not in little boxes, and it allows curved stems (though, in common with the big bucks apps, it doesn't allow curved text on curved stems).
To complete it, it only needs the ability to place graphics and the ability to write on curved stems. That's it.
Well done to the author for starting off by doing the simple things right.
