Just popped back to flag a new product beta which, IMHO, is the perfect complement to MLO. I've long wished for some way within MLO to easily undertake the initial brainstorming of tasks for projects large and small. I eventually came to the realisation that the outline/linear approach to this is not ideal, however slick the navigation and editing may be. For that reason, I've been looking for something to give the sort of flexibility you'd get from pen and paper but with all the benefits of a digital medium. Until now, most solutions have been too sophisticated or too basic, but I've just started using the Scrapple beta for Windows (it's going to be for OSX as well) and it's really hit the spot. Very intuitive and
not tied to a mind mapping paradigm. It has various exports which would feed into MLO and also OPML which, by now, really should be something MLO can handle - come on Andrey ;-) For disclosure purposes, I have no association with these guys. They are the authors of Scrivener so they have a good pedigree. See what you think. Download here
