You are about double the cost of my current tool, mindmup[0], so for me personally there is a change cost that will have to be overcome by a much better experience.
That being said I am stuck between obsidian and other tools including figjam and mindmup already and really want a nicer, obsidian friendly mindmapping solution.
So I built a prototype CLI in Go that wrapped up a few different technologies and before I wrote any code I popped into MM and "sketched" the command hierarchy and dependencies. It pretty snappy for tossing out linked concepts with the keyboard navigation.
And in a different direction I also use it to organize / reorganize information by visualizing the structure and color coding by particular attributes
In both cases it is a big help to me to spatially organize my thoughts and look at the relationships either while noodling or while organizing existing information.
Just like this cmap project the management of notes on nodes is still a big clunky / involved (and overall mindmup is not a "slick" product, especially compared to Ink&Switch's Muse).
cmaps for me has been useful for centralizing all my notes (be it personal, work-related, or academic from university) in one integrated platform. That's why I consider it a "note-taking" tool, more similar to notion than figjam.
Thanks for the answer, I'm eager to hear your feedback!
Quick feedback:
There's a CSS / content bug on the sign up page. The google and github logos are present but no words. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/hRLvWy8
For me, the lack of keyboard shortcuts is a non-started for my immediate usage. I like to just slap stuff down and jump around vs spending time organizing and compiling. Mindmup is just as "awkward" with managing notes on nodes but the keyboard shortcuts are a real timesaver.
Have you seen Arrows.app?
You might find some additional inspiration looking at another tool I used from Jason Koo that also uses arrows.app for generating graph data:
