Because of this news I installed TheBrain again. I paid twice before but never feel safe to continue to use it because of the price and the fear of locking myself in a special format.

It still has a special spot in my mind because the uniqueness of its ability to connect dots. Honestly, the concept is not hard to implement but I can not think of other apps do this.

I have a lot to complain: I don’t like the note function (prefer Markdown always); the desktop still feels too heavy though it’s better than the Java version; the mobile app is usable but still feel not polished; I don’t like all the themes and still using the classic dark blue one.

However, every time I get back to my “abandoned brain” and wander around, I still feel it lights up my thoughts because it’s so easy to jump across nodes to remember things and how they are connected… it’s still the same amazing experience I had on day 1.

Using the basic plan may be well enough for me, though if I continue to use it, it’s likely I will want the advanced features. (I definitely meet the CRIMP bar…)
