Show HN: Mindscope 2 – visual and hierarchical thought organizer (iOS/macOS)

Hey HN - I'm John Goering - Java dev by day and indie app dev by night. :)

I've just started a public beta of Mindscope 2, a mind-mapping thought organizer app for iOS and macOS that’s been in my head for nearly 8 years, and I thought to celebrate, I'd post a Show HN.

The "spark" for this app came when I thought how cool a combination of Scapple's free-form layouting and Workflowy's focused hierarchy drilldown might be, especially if the primary goal was to keep things as simple, smooth, and fast as possible.

The first version of Mindscope was one of my earliest iOS apps, written in Objective-C. It worked well - MacStories reported positively on it - and it's been fun hearing from people over the years how much they've used it and love it, but as other projects grabbed my attention, it ended up on my back burner.

But for the last few years I’ve slowly been rebuilding it from scratch in SwiftUI, adding macOS and watchOS support, proper CloudKit sync, as well as features I had always wanted myself, like deep linking, reminders, long-form notes, OPML import and export, and lots more.

It’s a freemium app (all features included with 2 boards and 200 entries free) with a Pro subscription plan for unlimited notes and boards. During the beta, the Pro version is free, of course.

I would appreciate feedback or questions of any kind!
