WriteMapper 3

I like WriteMapper overall. Aside from brainstorming a document from scratch, it seems to work well for importing a document and enriching/reorganising it. The minimal writing environment is nice, I like the dark mode, and the live preview is very good for overview.

Putting the live preview and the mind map side by side shows a weakness of the interface—actually of the interface of most many mapping applications: mind maps take much more screen real estate than their equivalent outlines.

I imported a fairly complex document. In the live preview the whole outline fits in the (4K) screen height and is crystal clear with a well sized font. The mind map has to be zoomed out considerably to fit in the same height and is then barely readable. This can surely be improved with more customisation options for the mind map.
