MindMeister 3.0 Feature Overview

5Nov

Our development team worked hard these last few days to iron our the last glitches in our new release. The dust has settled now, although there’s still some fine tuning to be done before we feel confident enough to send out the release newsletter.

However, to give you a brief overview on what’s new already now we’ve created a mind map (surprise, surprise) with some advance info on the new stuff: What’s New in MindMeister 3.0.

A more verbose portrayal will follow here soon.

Cool! Is there a timeline for when “Connections between nodes” will be implemented? It’s a mapping feature that most other software packages have, and one my team and I would love to see in MindMeister.

Would also be great to have an option to Alphabetize subnodes, or list subnodes by date.

Thanks!

when will it ever allow us to use it without registration and without internet connection?

Not anytime soon, really. That would undermine our business model.

You can use it without internet, though, with Offline mode: http://www.mindmeister.com/services/tools/offline

I’m really happy with the new features. In fact, as a whole, MM is soooooo clever. I can’t think of another Web 2.0 system that is so clever made…..
One item though I would like to suggest: when using a team version, within a short period of time many maps are being produced. It would be nice to have an (blog-style?) archive or category system…. :-)

Hi Paul,

thanks for the catch. We are using mind maps a lot and we do feel the pain of organising them. A solution for it is on our roadmap.

pesky detail, and suggested before, but how about compiling all the different css and js files into just one css and one js file? And while you’re at it, compress them too :) Anything to reduce loadtime and increase speed! Great app btw!!! ;)

Re the concatenated js and css, this is actually so, just that it isn’t one fiel only for each (to avoid loading unused code on pages). Thanks for the hint though!
