Ask HN: What's your favorite mind mapping tool?
All the mind mapping software I've tried hasn't been very good. Usually the UI was clunky and lacked keyboard shortcuts. And/or the design looked like something from last decade. And finally they haven't seemed very powerful.
Are there any fast, pretty, quick-to-use mind mapping tools I've accidentally missed?

- moksly 5y agoThat’s why you use a huge piece of brown paper. That way you can also roll it up and save it for another day. It’s actually a methodology taught at Danish MBA schools called a brown paper exercise. Experience will quickly teach you to tape the post-it’s to the paper before rolling it up though.
- thepete2 5y agoI just played around with VYM a bit (after looking at this list [0]), seems to work ok when you know the shortcuts, I might use that in the future.

- eimrine 5y agoMaybe you can help me - I need a mind mapping tool where I can build a tree not only in top to bottom direction but vice versa. For example I have b=>c=>d and I want to get a=>b=>c=>d . I have tried several mind mapping tools but none of them can do it.
- papaf 5y agoI really like markmap: https://markmap.js.org/ https://markmap.js.org/ I have the habit of writing notes in Markdown anyway and, with minor modifications, markmap will visualize it. There is also a plugin for VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gera2ld.markmap-vscode https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gera2ld....
