atoolo and MindMeister

29Feb

MindMeister and atooloWe’re pleased to announce the successful integration of MindMeister into atoolo, a new online desktop application that is currently in open beta. Using the MindMeister Embed API, the integration allows atoolo users to access and edit their MindMeister maps directly from within the atoolo webtop, optionally saving maps to their built-in atoolo disk.

Besides providing 1 GB of free storage space for every account, atoolo also enables users to work on documents directly in the browser, without the need for a native application. Which made MindMeister a pretty good fit, of course. There are also all the other usual office-type documents such as word processing and spreadsheets (powered by Zoho) as well as project support, instant messaging and a YouTube integration - check it out at www.atoolo.com!

If you also want to embed MindMeister in your application just go and register your API key at http://www.mindmeister.com/services/api

Happy Birthday!

Admittedly, we really only went “live” on May 1st, so we have an excuse for another anniversary celebration in a few months time!

Since the private beta lots of features have been added, and also the interface has undergone a few revisions - albeit minor ones (it just looked good right away ;-)). Since the start of development, however, the design of the user interface has changed quite a bit - and luckily so, as you can see from the image above, showing the evolution of the map view in the early stages of implementation…
