MindMeister Christmas Release: Introducing Connections
23Dec
Just in time for Christmas we managed to finish our latest release, MindMeister 3.1. Phew. The major new feature in it are graphical connections between ideas - many of you asked for them, and after we could not put this feature off any longer we locked one of our JavaScript gurus in a room with just a notebook and the Encyclopedia of Bezier and B-spline Techniques, and only let him out yesterday.
He said there were many technical difficulties to overcome, so please bear with us if not everything works quite as expected yet - we’re working on it!
We also added a few other new features in this release, please see details below or check out the list in the obligatory What’s New in MindMeister 3 mind map.

- Graphical cross-connections
You can now add graphical cross-connection between your ideas in your mind maps, which will be displayed as green arrows. This feature is still beta, so please be kind. We’ll add more functionality here in future, such as control points and formatting.
- Mark & nudge inactive users
Collaborators who haven’t visited a mind map yet since it was shared with them are now marked with a coffee cup icon in the Share dialog. Clicking the icon allows you to send another email to those users, reminding them to contribute (”Nudge” feature).
- Alphabetize subnodes
We’ve cleaned up the node context menu a bit and added a function to sort the children of a node alphabetically, at the click of a button. Small but hopefully useful function.
- Select maps to take offline
No longer do you have to wait for endlessly for all your maps to synch when you go to offline mode - a new dialog allows you to choose which maps you want to take offline. Very useful if you have a lot of them!
- Other enhancements
Ability to skip share emails, withdraw from shared maps using the “Delete” function, improved invitation system, and of course the odd bugfix. See all changes since MindMeister 3.0 in the What’s New mind map.

Hi there,
I really like Mindmap a lot, highly impress with the UX you implement, but still everytime i use it i wish i could be able to have more than just ONE nucleus on a Map, So that i could have different start points or mind maps that could interact with each other.
I just wanted to know if you are looking forward to it, it would be also nice to know what´s your functionality TO DO list.
Big Compliments
