Thank you for the Mindscope mention- it’s awesome!!

It’s like Scapple and Workflowy had a baby, and it’s right up my alley. I’ve tried a lot of mindmapping/visual note-taking software, until now my preference was still a notepad and sharp #2 pencil. But this app is simple and elegant, and the benefit of nesting is really big for me.

As simple as the app is, I only want 2 additions- 1. ability to tag items for an easily accessible ‘hot list’, and 2. import OPML.
