I love using mind maps. It is easier to get ideas flowing.
The hard part is sometimes to deal with the amount of data i can have but it is one of the tool that I find really powerful.
A few years back i used Xmind but as time went by I found their app being more and more annoying changing what you could have or not (when paying) with sometimes each upgrades. it also became quite slow as well to use (with crashing) and to download the documents made.

Then I used Freemind and then freeplane.
Good for the values I stand for (open source) but I really can't stand it anymore. It forces me to use the "Buzan Mode" every time even if I chose not to. And it is very ugly!

Of course there are really beautiful softwares out there for the windows mac users. Some are Linux friendly but of course all have gafa tech with re-captchas and not data care friendly really.

So I looked and looked and looked... and there is not much on the horizon 🏜️.

@globcoco Hi. I'm also into mind mapping and am a fan of Tony Buzan's work on them.
On what subjects do you use mind mapping on? Even though I love using them I still struggle mapping STEM topics like math or science.

Hi there,

Sometimes it's less about a subject than throwing ideas off my brain. And give it a structure straight.

I use it also to find out what I already know on a subject and the question I may have on it so i create my own structure and learning becomes then mine...
