Freeform mindmap?

I’d like to echo everyone else’s request for the ability to float notes anywhere and for them to then stay there. Drawing a line between them that does not create a link but only creates the appearance of a link between free floating nodes would also be extremely useful. Basically I want the abilities of Scapple included on top of what MarginNote already offers.

Hume for MN.pdf (56.4 KB)

I’ve included a PDF exported from Scapple to show what I mean. In this case I am not dealing with strictly hierarchical knowledge and I really don’t mind whether things are linked by html or not, I am simply happy to be able to see visually what is a pretty dense argument. Having this attached to the PDF that I’ve imported to MN and marked up in there using my iPad would be mega. The way you’ve implemented the pencil kit to write on the mind map would further lend itself to this - sometimes I get bored of typing and would like to add to the mind map by handwriting (sort of like OneNote can do). Sadly Scapple doesn’t have an iPad app, OneNote doesn’t make linking text boxes easy and doesn’t work nearly as well for marking PDFs up and extracting from them as MN does.
