The developer is Edwin Yip of DocxManager.

When he first released his Word enhancement, he had pretty serious problems. I think the biggest was tied to underlying changes in Word.

He sent email to every purchaser offering a full refund. I thought that was a pretty stand-up thing to do.

I don’t know Yip beyond the contact I had with him in those early days of his Word add-on.

I declined his refund, opting to wait for Yip to re-invent his product. As it turned out, I migrated away from Windows and Word, but I’m glad I didn’t get the refund. If the product had initial flaws, the effort was worth supporting.

As for mind mapping, it’s a useful brainstorming technique and I think there are features that would make mind mapping a killer technique.

Imagine a cross between The Brain, Tinderbox, and a mind map. There’s the map, nodes with attachments and notes, and if you click on a node it becomes the new main node. If you want, you can make any node link to the main node of a deeper map, which would be a little like folding.
