Yes, I have to say I think it’s pretty amazing, and the developer (who is, I assume, Japanese) is also very responsive and has outstanding English. He’s got some interesting entries on his blog, too, discussing e.g. the difference between concept and mind mapping, and his frustrations in attempting to create a knowledge builder rather than a knowledge finder. I like the idea of using it with Firefox - being able to view multiple fragments side by side is, for me, a sine qua non. Take a look at Barnes & Noble’s NOOKstudy, incidentally, for an amazing example of side-by-side document viewing built into an application from scratch (the software is free, but you need to create a B&N account, which is a mildly annoying). The link is:
