![]() I don't evaluate aspects related to sharing maps because at the moment I'm not interested and sensible to this topics. project management and "Todo" primitives with a simple gantt chartĪround XMind there is also a nice and good looking website that is the base for an active community sharing mind maps.In the PRO version there some other interesting features, enabling a more professional use of this tool, like: This functionalities are deeply integrate with the advanced GUI, so the resulting sight is really impressive. creation of clouds or boundaries around nodes. ![]() creation of link (relation) between nodes.Of course, XMind provide also all the main features needed in a mind mapping tool, like: I use this feature in freemind and I consider this functionality really useful in order to immediately identify important area of the map. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to propagate markers hierarchically from a node up to the root. I also appreciate the sheets, making the application a good box in which effectively opening more than one map and clearly see which map is the current and which are in background. I liked a lot the hi-res markers (icons) useful to remember and highlight nodes meaning, and the map styles (structure) one can apply to the map: fishbone, map, org char, spreadsheet, this can make the map apparence different from the classical "tree view" form. The GUI is really modern and nice, nodes are animated, colors are well chosen, elements in the GUI react really fast at the user input and the node dragging is really smooth so the user experience is really intense and pleasant. I don't touch deeply every functionality and every aspect involved in this project (see the website for a complete description of the software and a comparison matrix for the two versions), in this post I'm only highlighting the features I consider necessary in the choice of a good mind mapping solution.Īt the first use of XMind I was immediately impressed about the GUI. ![]() In this post I write about my really first impressions about XMind. I tried both the two versions of this software, however I'm interested in understanding if the Open Source version can actually replace Freemind, the mind mapping software I'm using in my everyday life. I recently discovered XMind, a mind mapping software, formerly commercial and now branched into two versions: Open Source (published on sourceforge) and Professional (commercial). ![]()
