Welcome to the official unofficial blog to mind42.com
My name is Stefan Schuster and I’m the mind42 client lead developer and designer. With this blog I’ve the honor to be the official unofficial contact point for all mind42 community related issues. So what will it be about? Let me answer the question with a mindmap
As you can see I’ll post about every news about mind42 as well as some tips and tricks. But this blog also should be a platform for the community to provide their feedback. So take the chance, and tell a developer what you think about the tool!
And finally: Thanks to all the guys who already mentioned mind42.com in their blogs, as they are:

I like the mind42 a lot. I couldn’t figure out how to create relations other than parent child. Yes I know multiple inheritance is a bitch and I know that loops in graphs can be a bitch too, but in my mind it all works fine, so I want it in mind42 too :P.
Maybe you can solve the rendering by allowing different types of links (relates-to, child-of, caused-by?, ..) and making a clear distinction between which visual effect they have.
Not yet supported or am I just missing something?

Hello,
Looks like a very nifty tool. I just wanted to point out that I think you need to make it obvious in your landing page that there is a mind map right there. It took me a few minutes to realize it. I kept looking for the demo mind map..
Best of luck.

hi stefan,
last morning was brainstorming session for my team, my boss was drawing mindmap in his book. at the same time i read ajaxian review, i don’t even finish the review, open mind42, sign-up and invite others. we really love it especially the collaboration feature.
however, there are few issues we found, such as the map grows, we cannot save the map. and today, 3 buttons is missing. however, we understand it’s still in beta and wishing you good luck. i’ll review mind42 soon in my blog. love it man.

I seem to have the missing buttons problem too - I couldn’t change the colour of the node, or add an icon. I look forward to trying mind42 again when they’re back.

Hey Steven,
what a fantastic tool! Great work!
I am sure you are continuing hardly M42, two ideas which came to my mind while using your software: Export-Possibility to JPG format and Printing. I think the last idea could be ignored, if there is the possibility to export to JPG so that the user can print local.
I will introduce your system M42 in my SuccessTeam and will look for some advertisment for you.
Great Job.
Nico
