Paul and PIMfan, thank you for your suggestions. I tried them both and they are quite similar. But they still seem to be more geared towards being drawing apps than brainstorming tools. They seem to me like online versions of SmartDraw, which I similarly find too slow for concept mapping (though like it as a drawing app).
The main drawback of these is that I end up faffing around with stuff like trying to change the size of the font, or the size or colour of the box or get the connecting line with the arrow to attach, rather than be banging out my ideas, which is what I want.
It’s interesting how many online mind mapping and chart drawing apps there are, but how few fast brainstorming tools. In fact I’m looking for a concept mapping version of Workflowy. Workflowy is great for brainstorming in an outline format, but I also need to map out ideas and relationships between them visually.
