Ask HN: Brainstorming Canvas

2 points by PixelMath 8 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


HI Fellow HN readers While working on new products (or just brainstorming) I end up with a lot of scattered information in different file formats and places. I am sure there must be a better way to do it. Tried some tools but couldn't find something suitable, OneNote seems to be the right fit but can't do mindMaps

Is there a tool that can do following bit on one canvas.

Text, Excel, Embed Images, Simple MindMaping, Collaboration

Also, if you can share the process and tools that you guys use brainstorming/Information dumping that'll be great.

I love OneNote on Windows. I think Microsoft turned everybody off from it by stuffing OneNote buttons all over the place, making it the default printer, etc. But it is really good.

I think piling too many features onto an app like that may make it too cumbersome to use.
