Privacy-first mind mapping app. Part 0: Motivations and Mind Maps
Before MindMapVault, I used FreeMind a lot.
I loved it because it was fast, reliable, and easy to use. It respected keyboard-heavy work. I could stay focused on the idea itself instead of hunting for the right button, menu, or floating panel. I could move quickly, write down thoughts with typos if necessary, and keep going while the idea was still alive in my head.
That mattered more than it may...
