UX: improve mindmap node positioning

art-in opened this issue · 0 comments

From my early impressions on mindmap view mode UX...

Manual nodes positioning is not convenient for large mindsets.
After adding another idea you usually have to move all ideas around to make whole picture look right.
That's unexpected work when you just want to add idea fast.

mindmap is just a way to look on ideas graph. You may work in zen mode and never open mindmap mode. But once rendered, it still has to look good with no attention from user.

Probably auto-positioning or semi-auto-positioning should work better.
