Interesting! May I ask what, if any, features do you plan to add that supercede those of Freeplane? As background: whenever I need to grok a larger concept or chomp through a large collection of material, I fire up Freeplane. (It's a fork of Freemind, a desktop application written in Java, it's under GPL and runs fully locally, see freeplane.org) You already mentioned a Markdown to map input path. That is a good idea, since often things (at least for me) begin with a small list. Collaboration was another thing you mentioned. Does that mandate uploading the maps to your cloud backend or can it be self-hosted? I ask because for some people it is not an option to use "other people's computers", as the domain being mapped can be of sensitive nature (under NDAs, or other things).

We are working on following features right now that are gonna be included in all plans: 1) Split view 2) Public ling sharing, embedded code 3) Kindle highlights sync (syncing the highlighted parts of yout books directly to the app) 4) AI for recommending online content (courses, books etc.) Free plan is just limited by number of documents and storage because we need to cover the server costs for cloud solution. Right now the solution is cloud based (but with SAML SSO and access provisioning for enterprises). It could be self-hosted it there is a demand for that.

  As another daily Freeplane user, anything not self-hosted and behind a firewall is a no-go for me. Sensitive or not, having someone over your shoulder kills the creative juices. None of the things you mentioned except for split view sounds like an improvement over Freeplane which is an open-source serverless app and great for the power-user. Perhaps a useful feature for someone like me would be the an online app where I could import a mind map from another program and then choose from a variety of presentation options, and be provided code for an interactive embedded mind map in a blog or website. That would be enticing to people who aren't ready to dump all the features they are used to, and that crowd is much more likely to jump on to something like this than the average person.

    We believe that online collaboration is very important when building our knowledge. When dealing with complex topics you need inputs from other people. That’s the reason behind cloud solution that is not offered by freeplane.

Are you going to have a desktop downloaded app with one time payment no subscription with unlimited features?

  Yes, it’s on our road map.
