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.

Enter a node without a connection to anything else - so we know we need to make connections
Enter a node without a connection to anything else - so we know we need to make connections at some point in the future. Would help planning.
69 votesyou can now add multiple roots, disconnect nodes and float them, and manage multiple maps in the same file on mindmup 2.0.

Remember preferable type of storage
As a rule, I keep all my mindmaps on Google Drive. But every time, I start new mindmap, I must set Drive as a place storage.
To avoid it, it is possible to remember a storage choice, from the previous mindmap.
73 voteswith mindmup 2.0 we’re building one app for each storage type, so the initial one always saves to drive. see http://blog.mindmup.com/2015/10/mindmup-20-is-now-ready.html for more info.

Increase screen real estate when selecting View - Auto Hide menu
When you select View - 'Auto Hide menu' the menu disappears but there is still a white band at the top of the screen where the menu was. If this band disappeared as well there would be more screen area for the maps, particularly when using full screen mode (F11).
I'm using Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m

collaborate without the need of google
Yope! I have seen that for collaborative use of mindmup, the use of google drive is mandatory. I want to ever get rid of google (i tend to that slowly actually), so would like to collaborate without google!
thanks!

Better choice of background colors
Background colors in current color map are mostly very dark, while light colors are much more suitable for highlighting bubbles, because they have enough contrast with the black text and don't distract too much.
Also the current color map has no saturation choices - only one given color with given (high) saturation.
A color map similar to modern Excel or Google Docs color maps would be a big improvement.5 votesyou can define your own styling, including background colours. see http://blog.mindmup.com/p/custom-css-styling.html

Save Warning For Google Docs
A warning display if you try to save to google docs when the map has been updated by another user.
I know we have the real time API, but in my context lots of people could open and make a small change.
So while I know there wouldn't be anything mindmup could do to say "merge" them, extensive, but perhaps a warning? Something like:
"Richard has made changes since you opened the map, saving now will overwrite there work, proceed?"
Potentially possible if Google API shows a last updated time, you could store and call upon when saving?
1 votemindmup 2.0 is autosaved and supports concurrent use, so there is no need to show warnings – it’s automatically resolved. see http://blog.mindmup.com/2015/10/mindmup-20-is-now-ready.html for more info.

Line breaks should be retained after editing.
Currently all the line breaks are lost as soon as the editing is done. This makes it impossible to have node with multiple lines in it.
I usually use it to jot down bullet points form meetings.
1 votethis should already work if you use shift+ enter to create a new line. if it does not, please contact us by e-mail (contact@mindmup.com) so we can troubleshoot

offline Chrome App - ability to open multiple instance of the application
It would be great to have the possibility to open more than
one instance of the offline application,
in order to be able to work on more than one map concurrently.1 votethe latest version of the offline app allows you to open multiple windows to work on several maps concurrently

offlineApp - very simple feature - reload from file
+1 for a simple "reload from file" feature,
a shortcut that combine "new map"+"open/import from local file(the same file)" would be great.
I'm using a local script to modify the map and it would be nice to easily and quickly apply the changes.1 votethis should now be available, we deployed a new version of the offline app this morning

Linking Google Drive files to nodes
It would be great to be able to link nodes with specific files on GDrive. This would dramatically improve collaboration on ideas with extensive information background and/or requesting collaborative document creation.
I could create a link to a specific shared document on my Drive and collaborators could open and read/edit it. I understand it is a matter of rights and IDs but it'd be a great leap forward.
205 votesthis is now possible with mindmup 2.0 – adding an attachment opens a google drive picker, and the file preview will be shown when clicking on the paperclip after the files are linked to nodes.

Change to color of Connect lines so you can more easily track them
I would like to be able to change the color of all the Connect lines connected to a given node. This way if you have multiple nodes using Connect lines you can more easily determine the node of origin/destination.

Add support for multiple Google drives.
I use several Google drives which works well though Chrome, my own personal and two different Google drives belonging organizations I work with. My personal Google account is the default, and opening Mindup docs from my personal drives works well, but when I try to open a Mindmup stored an another drive, the Mindmup app lanches but tries to open the map using my default credetials which fails, not with the credential from the drive where it's actually stored.

Add a node and (selected?) children to storyboard as a single node
A common arrangement in my maps is for a subtree to represent a bulleted list. The parent is the topic / header of the slide, and each child node is a bullet point. If a node fits the pattern (one or more children, no "grand"children), then building a slide like this would be very handy.

Export mind map into an outline format
Viewing a mind map graphically is wonderful, but many times when i have a completed map, I want the ability to export it to an outline format that I can share with a team. Mind Manager allows this although it is not implemented very well. The outline could be exported to an RTF format, etc.
3 votesExport to text and html (File→Export) creates an outline. the text export is tab indented so it can be loaded easily into any spreadsheet processing tool. html preserves most of the formatting, so that would be the RTF equivalent.

Vertical tree LIST view with expandable/collapsible nodes for better mobile readability
I mainly use mind maps to organize my short term and long term tasks and goals. Unfortunately my maps aren't easy to review on a phone screen. I think an alternate view of a map would be very useful which only slows the parent node and the first set of children nodes in textual list view with plus signs. Clicking on any row will expand/collapse that node. This would make it much easier to review maps from a mobile.

Spreadsheet Cells that link across nodes ;)
Add spreadsheet cells to a node.
Use simple SUM functions
Allow them to be added to each other.1 voteok, so if it’s just the case of not knowing the feature was there, i’m glad we helped :) I’ll close this idea then.

A little Node Variety, please.
Would u be so kind as to develop just a little node variety. Even just an option to remove the bubble on sub-tree nodes as well as a size option will suffice. please pretty please! I mean, I have more demands but we can start there. I would also prefer to test drive your Gold version for 3 days??? I gotta make sure it has what I want. My goal is to run my whole business in google drive, but I need optimization to my standards. That means, if it doesn't have what I want, I want you to add…
1 voteBen – you can change almost all visual aspects of any map, including setting default sizes, shapes and colors by level by using custom CSS styles – see http://blog.mindmup.com/p/custom-css-styling.html
regarding gold trials, gold does not give you any more functionality, just more capacity for PDF exports and embedded map hosting. There is no need for a trial, you can try out all the functions without gold on smaller maps as much as you want. If you end up needing more capacity for PDF exports or embeds, then register for Gold.

Automatically save any changes in the current MindMup
I guess I'm getting used to working with Google Docs & Sheets... I'd like my work to be saved automatically as soon as I change something on the MindMup I'm working on so I don't have to press the button "save" every time.

Faster loading of maps
At this moment, MindMupMaps on Google drive are slow to load. In itself, the feature to store on Google Drive is brilliant. However, the maps take very long to load, even when the maps have only about ten items. I would like to avoid having to wait for a map to open.
This happens both with the previous engine, and with the current BETA engine.
* loading Google API (90 sec)
* authenticating with Google (60 sec)
* Connecting to Google Drive Realtime
* etc.
total loading time: 3-5 minutes9 votesmindmup 2.0 loads all scripts at once and should be much faster to load maps. 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
