I absolutely love WriteMapper. I used it when documenting my position at my old job, and I wouldn't have managed without it. I also used it as a living document in my project management, and was able to export the whole thing as one big project wrap-up in the end. Truly a time and life saver!

Damn! How did I not know about this amazing product?? This is so exciting! I love seeing the outline of whatever I’m writing (a feature of Dropbox Paper that I appreciate) but this takes that 10 steps further! Just wow!

Version 2 added two of my biggest feature requests - custom keyboard shortcuts, and the ability to preview entire documents before exporting. Makes me super happy!

Pros:

Has dramatically sped up my writing process

Cons:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Downloaded the trial just to see if the all the fuzz was justified. Used it for 7 minutes, then went back to the website and bought a license! The full keyboard control is what did it for me. I've become very fond of apps that empower visual thinking. This is the best-looking, most organized I've used yet! The ability to export to a doc is 💯👌 If you're looking for a visual thinking tool, you might also want to check out Flowlist which has an interesting approach to mind mapping (using lists).

as someone that write a lot and struggle with it - cool idea

Pros:

looks cool -

Cons:

not yet

Really cool product, congrats on the launch. Just tried it for Mac and Windows both and it seems there's a bug with the Windows version. I'm only able to double-click and expand the source/parent node while to expand any other, I'm having to right-click and then click edit. Good luck!

Beautiful product. I have no words. Only questions: - Is there any plan to support images? Or this would be out of scope? - Is there any plan to support full search? (inside nodes) and if not, is there any plans to support search on preview mode? That would do the trick

awesome product, and what isnt better than support both mac and windows

its better tyo mindmapping,its windows awesome product

Probably the most innovative writing app I've seen in a long, long time Random thoughts for features I'd want/expect - markdown support for writing? (I'm just so used to writing in markdown these days) - side-by-side preview (I like distraction free, but sometimes I wanna see the full document preview on the side) - consider throwing words on page in toolbar (bottom of page) by default, just so that they're there. - features like typewriter mode (centered vertically), typewriter noises, Hemingway mode (no backspace), etc. are standard in most writing apps these days. On even has ambient background noise option. Most of all, I'd love if I could open a node in a new window, so I could have my main document tree on one monitor, and the node I'm actively editing on another. Same goes for having a live full document preview open on my third monitor.

Really cool product, gives a bit more of a visual twist on something like Workflowy. One problem I've encountered so far: sometimes when reorganizing nodes within a parent node, another node at the level of the parent "steals" the node I'm moving (E.g. If I have Animals -> Dogs -> Dog breeds, when moving a dog breed, it might attach to the nearby Animals -> Cats -> Cat breeds). Any way to make that easier?
