Ideaome – Mind-maps meet flow-charts, but social

What looks very nice as a way to organize knowledge and discussion. But that would require some really well designed navigation, for example:

- where(in the graph) am I located right now?

- what will happen if I click this box?

- what should I do do get to X

etc. Hope you are already thinking about it :)

Also, I'd like to ask about all these labels on the arrows (indeed, answer, about, example, precision etc.). Are they meant to be used in some automatic processing of the data? That would be really neat. Good luck!

I like "Paper by 53"'s solution to zooming, finite zoom levels that it snaps too. They only use 2, but for an app like this, maybe just limiting it to 5 or 4 or 3 zoom levels could provide a backbone of structure for creativity.

It helps in 53's case that it's pinching, but I think the same "finite zoom levels that are snapped to when you let go" could work with a mouse too. It also helps them that zooming further "out" goes into the app itself, first showing properties of the current document, then going up to a "list of lists of documents". This pattern could be followed on desktop, but is unexplored.

"Snapping finite zoom levels" I'm sure others must have done in some apps before? I just can't think of any.
