🌟 FREEDOM MINDMAP
in progress
garrick
As Mindnode app, it would be nice to have total freedom of movement with our schemes, to be able to embed the images in thumbnails to be able to be visualized in any size, a direct access to a photo is a big mistake forcing me to make a damn extra click for each visualization, this is not practical, not visual, not productive, it's terrible! I can't create arrows to any direction either...

We hear you loud and clear — and with 129 votes, this is one of the most requested ideas in our community. What you're describing is a true free-form mind map: drag nodes anywhere on the canvas, embed images as visible thumbnails without an extra click, and full spatial freedom like MindNode. That's a meaningfully different experience from a structured hierarchical tree.
We've been iterating on the mind map view — we added split Mind Map view (v4.70.0), improved loading performance (v6.31.0), custom fields support in mind map (v5.43.0), and public projects now support mind map view (v5.198.0). But we know these are incremental improvements, not the free-canvas experience you're envisioning.
This request is squarely on our radar. Check https://taskade.com/changelog for updates, and explore https://taskade.com/create to see how our AI agents can help structure and generate mind map content. We want to get this right for you!

More Flexible Mind Map View

There's a Canva plugin for Obsidian that allows to build really awesome Mind Maps, where you can easily drag the nodes.
Would be great to see a similar functionality. Maybe integration with Canva is a possibility.

Narek Zograbian should this one be fused together with Whiteboard? Aren't these essentially the same? https://www.taskade.com/feedback/feature-requests/p/whiteboard
Narek Zograbian
pauk Hmm. They're definitely similar and have overlapping requests. My understanding is that this one is trying to modify the current mindmap feature while the whiteboard feature is a standalone option.

Narek Zograbian I see your point - It's uncertain. However, if you were to do a freedom of movement mindmap, you would be able to do so and much more on a whiteboard view with options for task, image, embed dropping, etc. and have an arrow connection tool, or draw connections yourself. Essentially, you would achieve what's sought and not have to develop/change the current locked mind map framework 🙂

pauk It sounds like something similar to Obsidian's canvas feature?
Essentially being able to embed multiple projects on a canvas and have added elements on the side with a freeform type of approach?
It also sounds like Apple's Freeform app.

Narek Zograbian I have not tried those. Exactly that - IMO, clickup has nailed it with their whiteboard feature. Try create a free account and check it out đź‘Ť
Narek Zograbian
pauk OK, perfect. I think that gives a better understanding of the feature you're looking for. I'll try out ClickUp when I get a chance. Thank you!
