m3 Quick Summary
- It's a mind mapping program that reads and writes Freemind and
Freeplane .mm files
- Try it here: glenreesor.ca/m3
- You can use it as a mindmap viewer on your own website. Here's a
simple example
Some More Details
- It works in Chrome, Firefox and Safari on Windows, OSX, Linux,
Android, and iOS
- If you're using Chrome, you can add an icon to your home screen,
and it will look and behave like a "real" app on your device.
Important Things to Know
- m3 stores your mind maps in your browser's offline storage. If
you delete that, your maps will be gone. So don't do that 😃
- If you have already used m3, it doesn't update to the next version
until you load the page twice, due to a quirk of a technology
called app cache
Change Log
2017-07-20 - Version 0.12.0
New Features
- Significant performance improvements for loading, scrolling, and folding
large maps, especially on iOS
- Switched from dotted links to open arrow heads when one end is hidden,
due to terrible iOS scrolling performance with dotted curves
- Support embedding m3 in another webpage
- Added a new Welcome map that gets displayed on first load of m3
- Center maps on initial load
- Put popups at the top of the screen rather than bottom, since Chrome
fullpage mode on some devices doesn't scroll contents up when displaying
keyboard
