Neat! Looks like Trello with simular appeal! It is like the ultimate dashboard. But predates both Trello and dashboard concept. I’m going to try it. Thanks for sharing.

I’m glad you’re going to try EasyDesktop. Actually, I’m surprised I hadn’t mentioned it here before. Looking at this new mindmapping software reminded me how much I love text-based software. EasyDesktop easily gets me the most questions when the program is open. At airports I have people squeamishly ask about it fairly often. There’s just nothing else like it. And I was serious, I really would be lost without it and would have a much harder time getting around Windows after using EasyDesktop for almost 20 years! The latest version is within the last six months I believe, so it’s nice they have kept continuous development for so many years. You can actually do a lot of organizing with it as well. I have two or three pages of buttons (something like 70 buttons per page and you have up to ten pages) that simply bring up certain lists or information and I use the subject buttons to organize what they are for. It brings them up amazingly fast, too. Let me know how you like it!

I’m trying it out too. Very promising. I like its retro style.

I downloaded EasyDesktop today, and got it set up. I like it a lot. It’s far more user friendly than the Windows 10 or Classic approaches, though I like Classic because it is similar to Windows 7.
