Well, I managed to work around the login screen, but Jeez, folks, that software is buggy! I found three bugs in the notes area within about a minute (which resulted in data loss) and one crash after about 4 minutes.
They have a lot of work to do. I wouldn’t have released it as a public beta in its current state ...

Does anyone know if, when finally released, TheBrain 9 will continue to be cloud-based only?

“Brains” (databases) can be stored locally and optionally synced to their proprietary cloud service. “Thoughts” (nodes) can be private or public.

TheBrain’s iOS version as of today is TheBrain 9—so now on desktop and mobile platforms TheBrain 9 is the default.
TheBrain 9 iOS is pretty good—not great—there are syncing limitation with attachments, and the technology is stuck several iOS releases back—not handling well iOS 11’s slide-over, shelf and Files features.

Greetings - first post, I think. I don’t think I’ve ever signed up before. I’ve lurked quite a bit.
I’ve found TheBrain, sadly, to be unreliable in past incarnations. I think I got in at version 5 or 6 - maybe, long time ago - and it was awesome.
Around 8, I started losing nodes and having rough edges crop up enough I didn’t want to use it. I’m afraid version 9 may have some of the same problems.
Is there anything else that incorporates TheBrain’s concept of jump thoughts?
In other words, I’d like a note taking application that would let me link to another node in a bidirectional way. If I navigate to a note/node that other things have linked to, I’d like to be able to follow those links backward.
Anything like that out there?
