Happy Apple Event Day! 🎉

This year we went all in and have fully adopted @mindnode.com for Liquid Glass. We plan to ship it on day one for Mac, iPad and iPhone.

And we finally have support for folder. Probably our most requested feature since we shipped MindNode Next. At the moment we have a flat folder hierarchy, but I guess we will get many requests for sub-folders.😀

Flexible Layout is our replacement for Manual Layout. When dragging a node from its position, it gets positioned with an offset from its original position. All attached sub-nodes will continue to use automatic layout. A shadow indicates when the node would snap back to an automatic position.

Dynamic Themes is something we have wanted to do for a very long time, but our old code base had too many constraints. Now that we no longer hard-code everything, this was finally possible to do. (I also really like the little animation @myell0w.bsky.social added when switching theme appearance)

I purchased new skis yesterday. Went with the Head Supershape e-speed 170cm. It has a 14m radius so perfect for the current snow conditions. The ski is also surprising good on long carving turns.

Just received this Christmas present via email. 🥰

Image Playground support is also coming. We send the current node title+note and image to playground when you trigger it.

We are planning to ship our first Apple Intelligence features next week. For example you can now ask Siri about the content of your document and get a summary. Will be interesting if this sees adoption.

With MindNode Next we are getting serious about Shortcuts app support. There is now an app intent to access all your nodes, from all your MindNode Next documents. In my case it returns 18.281 nodes. (Make sure you are on 2024.4 or later)

We are also getting serious about App Intents. We are starting with a limited numbers, but it's now possible to change the content of a document.
(Disclaimer: it's a bit slow right now if you have many documents, a fix is shipping next week.)

The version we are shipping today is not feature complete compared to MindNode Classic. We plan to bring most features over and plan to update them at the same time. For example in Next we have a new Tag UI.

A new chapter begins for MindNode today. Next is a departure from our current app that will help us move the app forward in a big way. Documents are stored in CloudKit and synced with our syncing engine. Collaboration is enhanced by an end-2-end encrypted backend that allows working in real-time.

I guess I need MagSafe for the Apple Studio Display 😔
