MindMup is a free software mind mapping application written primarily in JavaScript and designed to run in HTML5 browsers. MindMup is released under the MIT License (with an additional non-compete clause[1]), and the source code is available from GitHub.[2] MindMup is also available as a free anonymous web service at mindmup.com, which enables users to store maps on several cloud storage providers, including Google Drive, Amazon S3 and GitHub and collaborate in real time with other users.
Damjan Vujnovic, David de Florinier and Gojko Adzic started MindMup in January 2013 to create a free and open alternative to commercial mind mapping cloud services, and the three main drivers of the project are creating a frictionless interface, productivity and community-driven development.[3]
MindMup has been praised for its simple and intuitive interface and short learning curve [4] and power-user features.[5] It has been recommended for the use in education, in particular due to anonymous access and not requiring account signup to use cloud services.[6][7]
Features
MindMup combines editing and productivity user interface aspects typical for desktop applications,[4] such as keyboard shortcuts, edit history, right-click menus and toolbars, with online application capabilities such as cloud storage, easy sharing, enabling users to embed maps in their web sites[6] and publishing maps publicly with read-only access.[8] Users can vote on the implementation of new features on a publicly accessible UserVoice platform.[9] Moreover, a Chrome App is provided for offline access to the software.[10]
Supported file formats
The software supports importing and exporting maps in the Freemind file format. It also supports file exports as structured HTML or tabular plain text, PNG images and PDF vectors. Presentations based on maps can also be exported as PDF and PowerPoint slides [11]
