NEWS: The Beta is here, please try and give me feedback
This site documents progress on building a file type compatible replacement for iThoughtsX that can 'run anywhere'
The entire contents of this page is still being edited in 'the original' iThoughtsX on my Mac. This demo software reads the original format which is sitting in a shared folder. No importing or exporting needed.
New Features and differences to iThoughtsX
Here are some test nodes to play with (try moving them around with keyboard commands (if you are a seasoned iThoughtsX user), try using number keys to open N levels. Or try dragging a node to the LHS (to move to sibling) or RHS (to move to child) of an existing node.
The Goals for this project:
Blog of work currently In progress (June 2026)
Just released Beta, now looking at a new POC for Tauri native apps.
Roadmap
Short Term Roadmap:
The BETA is done
DONE: I’ve just added a search bar and a toolbar to make things easy on a mobile device.
DONE: One last thing I need to add - some sort of sample map to show existing capability
Architectural considerations for multi-platform. Most of the code I have previously done puts a backend dependancy on python. I’m now exploring moving all of this code into the browser, this means I can run almost anywhere, but with a few caveats around filesystem access.... more to come.
Keep working on the POC - even as it is now, I'm finding it useful for reading mindmaps from my Android phone (POC gives read only at the moment)
Manual tests I do before updating on this public demo site
