What should we focus on next?
MindMup is community driven, so we’ll work on what our users want the most. For best results, please:
- Formulate ideas as work objectives (explain why, not just what/how). For example, ‘collaborate with friends remotely’ is much better than asking for ‘google realtime v2.0 integration’
- Do not submit stuff anonymously. We want to discuss your proposal with you if it gets votes, and anonymous submissions don’t allow us to do that. Ideas submitted anonymously will most likely be closed.

BUG: Allow for editing of "dotted line" connections (Alt+click) in multi-connection scenario
BUG? When creating connection (Alt+click) between multiple nodes to a common node, only the last connection made may be selected/edited.
i.e. nodes "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" are all connected (in sequence) to node "A" via (Alt+click). If you want to select/edit the connection (dotted line) between nodes "3" and "A", you can't select it. Instead, you must delete connection between node "A" and nodes "5" & "4" in order to select the connection between node "A" and "3".
4 votessorry for a delayed response, hand’t noticed this task due to low number of votes. this should work much better now, and you should be able to select individual connections. a small highlight will show which connection you’re going to edit when you hover the mouse pointer over a line, so you know better what will be done

Controlling the width of each node
Some nodes have more text inside them and would look better if the width could be adjusted as needed. Maybe something similar to the way images can be resized in microsoft word. Click and drag to the desire size.

Export/Import map as xml/json file.
For example, I have a data structure that I want to display as a map. Currently, I have to do it manually. It would be nice if I could save my data structure in some xml/json format and import it to mindmup. An export case I would also like to have.
3 votesthe native .mup format is pure JSON. Just export to MindMup format (File→Export) and you’ll get a JSON

The nodes have to sound!!!
I would like to have a possibility to add sounds/music/speech dialogs/videos etc. in every node. It would be super!!!
3 votesyou can add videos and sound with 2.0. See mindmup 2.0 now supports multiple google drives. see http://blog.mindmup.com/2015/10/mindmup-20-is-now-ready.html for more info for more info

orthogonal lines
When you have got a large Mindmap with nodes that have a lot of child nodes you get problems with the clarity.
The straight line extension does a lot for more clearity but the inclined lines still seem kind of messy.
Straight and orthogonal lines as an additional option would make large mindmaps clearer, especially when some nodes have a lot of chilld nodes that are on the same level.30 votesuse view→map theme→simple and you’ll get almost rectangular lines that make larger maps easier to comprehend

It would be great to have captions for the connect lines.

It would be great to see a "snap" feature so that some of the main items would line up horizontally or vertically.

Personal brainstorming session.
Allow many floating nodes. Allow attachments to the nodes to elaborate on the ideas. Possibility to link them later.
5 voteshi,
sorry for the late response, I didn’t notice this when responding to similar items a while ago. MindMup has supported many disconnected floating nodes for a while now (since November 2017), with the possibility to connect them later. Check out https://www.mindmup.com/news/2017/09/08/concept-maps.html for more information.

Increase font size
Sometimes I want to save my mind map as a PDF so I can view it from anywhere or print it out. However, when I preview the image, the text is so small that it would be pointless to print it out. Please add this feature soon as it would be very beneficial in my studies.
45 votesyou can now change the text size in individual nodes easily. here’s how: https://youtu.be/AtIYtsAvSeE

Index view and conversion tool for .docx and google docs
Be able to see the mindmap as an index view, with options for longer text underneath. Would be great when studying and cramming different subjects!
For example, a mindmap in index view would look like:
- root header -- sub header 1 -- Sub header 2 --- Notes under sub header 2, with a long text --- Sub-sub header 1 -- Sub header 3
The conversion should not be too hard, would it? Automatically converting headers to nodes and sub-nodes on a mindmap, and texts and lists to connect to these nodes.
29 votesyou can already do this as File→Export To Local Disk→Text (or HTML). This will create a tab-separated outline or a HTML doc outline. You can easily load the tab separated file into Excel, or the HTML into word, to see the outline.
If I misunderstood the suggestion, please let me know what you’d expect to see/work different from that.

Turn a mindmap into a checkable checklist
I'd like to brainstorm with my group, and then be able to export the edited mind map to a shared checklist (something that can be checked off online, and visible to all). When the item has been completed, it can be checked off and get hidden or folded. This might be designed for use in the mind map, or in an exported format.
7 votesthis is already possible. see http://blog.mindmup.com/p/monitoring-progress.html
if I’ve misunderstood what you propose, please let me know how that is different from the progress monitoring at the moment

Rotate the default direction of adding nodes
It would be great if one could rotate the direction of adding nodes.
Right now, it appears to go to the right as default, and adding to the left when available.How about adding downwards or upwards?

Move the delete option further down the list of right click options.
Using tablets or touch screen, I found that my fingers touch the delete button quite often. The touch screen zoom doesn't seem to work to make the right click menu bigger or more user friendly. Please change the look and usability of right click menu for tablet of touch screen users.
2 votesmindmup 2.0 is much more touch friendly now, so buttons are more spread out, especially the popup ones. see mindmup 2.0 now supports multiple google drives. see http://blog.mindmup.com/2015/10/mindmup-20-is-now-ready.html for more info for more info
