The last time I reviewed MindNode ‘Next’ there were still huge gaps in the capabilities of the app compared to MindNode ‘Classic’. Chief among them was the lack of a ‘Duplicate File’ process which broke my workflow by preventing me from making project templates for re-use. I’m pleased to say that the developers have been plugging away at making ‘MindNode Next’ (I know, just “MindNode” from now on) every bit as good as the previous version, and I’m delighted to say they have done it. The latest version of MindNode is now at parity with the version which got me into using MindNode in the first place. I’d love to see the ability to have MindNode sub-branches talk nicely to List Headings in either Apple Reminders or Apple Notes; that would be worth 5 stars! But for now I’m delighted to be able to use MindNode in the way it used to work; well done IdeasOnCanvas.
Hi Alan, thanks for your feedback! I get your points and see why this is frustrating. Yes, there is a difference between how documents are stored on MindNode Next and MindNode Classic.As you correctly mentioned MindNode Classic is a document-based app, and MindNode Next is a shoe-boxed app. This means that instead of storing documents on the file system, the app itself is now managing them. Documents in MindNode Next are stored in CloudKit and not in iCloud Drive or a third-party sharing provider. One great benefit of using a synced database in MindNode Next over files stored in iCloud Drive in MindNode Classic is that the system doesn't offload your documents and they are always there. Even when offline on an airplane. I also get why you would like to have Folders back. We are currently working on implementing them to MindNode Next as soon as possible. Duplicating is already implemented into MindNode Next. However, we know that MindNode Next and MindNode Classic don't (yet) have feature parity and MindNode Next might not be a full replacement for our users at the moment. That's why you can continue using MindNode Classic. By providing this feedback you are helping us, a lot, to understand better what we need to add to MindNode Next in the coming months and where we need to improve our communication. Thank you!
