Need to plan something out? Check out the slick MasterPlan

I tried it out for a bit. Quite unique combination of features, focused mostly on gamedev (for example, it has a basic map editor). I like a lot how tasks combine in a list or a tree, based just on their relative position. There are some unconventional elements like timer and whiteboard that I find very useful for project and work organization.

Now for downsides. The UI is non-standard, so tab and other focusing shortcuts won't work. The workflow needs re-thinking, right now everything is added as a task and then changed (only by mouse) into other elements. Too many interactions require dialogs, for example completing one task in 'progression' requires going into property dialog and incrementing a number. Late tasks are nervously animated and too distracting. The font is not changeable and looks pixelated and quirky. Why is zoom blury when using vector fonts? Unicode support is lacking.

What I'm really wishing for is similar tool but with more journalling workflow. Let me make new entries every day, but with support for mind maps or simple charts, free-floating text boxes and maybe with whiteboard. The bit I'm lacking in existing software is to treat content as timestamped sketches, not as permanent documents.

I will check again in few months to see what becomes of this, as it shows promise.
