Here’s an example of a MindMup map, built for this review: click for a larger image The strongly-curved hierarchy lines turn out to be a good shape for making best use of space for your map (see the example here, and the ‘Free Movement’ section, below). There is also an option for straight lines in place of the curves.
The appearance is quite conventional: Bubbles joined by curved hierarchy lines.
You might get the impression that MindMup is less capable than it is, because some quite important functions are somewhat hidden, but there are easily-found web pages for help, hints and shortcuts and I’ve mentioned some here. Starting to map with MindMup is easy – their motto of “Zero-friction free online mind mapping” is one that its designers have taken seriously. That’s not to say that it’s a toy as it can be used for serious mapping. This makes it an attractive tool for school use. It supports multi-user, simultaneous access and, if you’re using MindMup’s free storage or storing maps locally on you computer, it requires no log in. MindMup is a web-based mind mapper that you can use free, with no limit on the number of maps.
FREEPLANE ADD CHILD NODE SOFTWARE
You might ask yourself ‘why not use a free web-based mapper?’ but for expert users of FreePlane, the fact that you can use all the hacks that this software offers to adapt it to your own needs and preferences can be a strong motivation. There are introductory videos and documents hereand they look pretty clear to me.
FREEPLANE ADD CHILD NODE CODE
If you’re familiar with the Freeplane icon, I think you’ll like the Freeplane-collaborative-tools logo, it looks like a squadron in close formation:įreeplane is open source, so the source code for Freeplane-collaborative-tools is open as well. The heavy lifting is done by your choice of versioning system: CVS, SVN or GIT, and this synchronizes the various copies of a map on request. Users work on their own local copies of the mindmap and periodically publish the modifications on a central server from where they can fetch other users contributions. Instead it is a Freeplane extension using a versioning system. This is not a web-based mapper like MindMeister, Coggle or MindMup. He calls it Freeplane-collaborative-tools. Sébastien Georget recently announced a personal initiative to allow Freeplane users to work together on a map without all the emailing back and forth, and spotting changes to copy to your own map. I haven’t tried it, but yes, apparently so.
