“Thinking Space”? I don’t know what that means but there are two separate genres of software which should not be confused. One is “Mind Map” and I believe lit&latte do not call Scapple a MindMap due to the non-hierarchical aspect.
There is a second genre separate from MindMaps, some call it White-Board some Cork-Boards some Stickies (M3, Yellow etc), some Index-Cards etc. I call this second genre “Virtual Boards”. These are quite different and I do not confuse them with MindMaps which have a fairly defined definition consensus though some still disagree on that, avoiding a mental hodgepodge of comparative reviews across 2 separate genres.
After testing numerous options, I settled on a few “Virtual Boards” tools and even then, each to suit the task at hand. Can’t afford to over-generalize there either. Horses for courses.

This is beautiful map Stephen. Tinderbox is damn sexy when maneuvered by the professional!
Thank you.

Here is a map I created in 2013 to represent the relations among my research tools in 2013.
it is totally ugly; but was fast to write and practical.

I can only imagine how beautifully it could have been done in TB.

It is funny I put Tinderbox and Scapple stuck together on that map.

Nice map. I bet it was also fun to build it.
