Thanks for the tip. Looks good for creating some post-it note type notes, but I’d like to be able to connect the nodes with lines and arrows, and in Boardthing these are hand-drawn, which means they do not attach and do not move with the nodes when you rearrange the nodes.

While the concept looks interesting, when I tried it I found it cumbersome and buggy. It takes too long to construct a map, so it’s not suitable for brainstorming for me. But thanks anyway, it was worth a try.

At the moment I’m stuck with remote-accessing VUE on my PC, but I wish I had a cloud-based option for fast concept-mapping.

Mindmup could be a compromise, as it’s possible to connect nodes freely, but there is still a central-node-based hierarchy (i.e. a classical mind map, rather than a concept map with entirely independent nodes).
