I’ve been using Dynalist for a couple of weeks, and I greatly enjoy the simplicity of it. I mainly use it for two purposes: keep meeting mins, and tasks(to-do) at work. Thanks to the ever indenting, it can be highly organized on whatever you write down.
This brings me to think about the possibility of displaying it in a mind map view, or in any way connection-based. To me, it’s always not easy to find a well-balanced tool that can be this organized like Dynalist and can at the same time be displayed in a more visual way. I’ve been imagining an app where you can create your tasks in a mind map mode, and beside each node you can type organized details like you are able to do in Dynalist. It’s probably a challenge as I haven’t come across such tool yet.
(A close one would be Smartdraw, which allows you to create tasks and switch between mind map mode and gantt chat mode. Pretty cool, but they way you write details in each node is still add note/comments in a sticky-note like area. You do get to indicate due date in the node though, and I really like the feature to allow switching to gantt chart view.)
It’s probably not an easy task as to how to keep all the text organized like Dynalist does(allows to indent/outdent/zoom in/zoom out) , and still gives you the connection-based visibility(like mind map), all together in one view.
Any advice to share? I know with currently Dynalist, {{ enables you to jump to another item. Well this is an connection at least!
