Use Heptabase primarily to process notes in the various things I am interested in. Love it! Unlike many other notes apps I have tried, very intuitive and easy to use.
Scrintal currently has a lifetime offer ;-) Grab this before it's gone. After three years at Heptabase's annual subscription price, the investment has paid off. I assume that Scrintal will still be around in a few years. Scrintal is a bit behind in development compared to Heptabase, but also had a later starting point. So be patient when it comes to further development. Things are getting better as CEO Ece is even engaging with major universities around their product in Scrintal/Visual Mind Mapping live streams.
i am disappointed with obsidian canvas therefore looking for an app that does the 2d note taking thing better. even miro i would prefer. but heptabase looks optimized for this kind of use case.
You should make video on what note taking app is suitable for engineering. We use tables, ss of diagrams and math in our notes. Lately these videos have not been helpful in finding an app that could suit a university engineers needs. Please make a video on this topic, thanks.
You can just do a canvas in Curio by Zengobi with a lot more visual customization and create direct links to other parts of your system, without being forced to manage your whole notetaking system inside this app. Layering works better than a one size fits all SaS. You dont have to leave apple notes or whatever other apps you use. You just want to create a mind map.
So Heptabase cannot collapse whole mindmap branches. Is that correct ? I've watched I don't know how many Heptabase mind map videos, and no one has collapsed a whole section of a branch structure.
Scrintal has a lifetime deal at this moment which i bought. The monttly price increased (6.99/monthly). Scrintal works cloud based and Heptabase is Offline first. For people which work on many PCs is Scrintal better solution. The servers are placed in EU (Sweden) so that DSGVO (GDPR) is no problem for you ;-)
Interesting software, BUT its very similar to Obsidian and its new canvas feature, which can be used for free. Also, when trying it out, my PC would get really slow and sometimes images and videos would take forever to load. Also, kind of takes away the benefits of mindmapping, which are to have a visual approach to explain complex things or processes, since blocks of text are not the same as images and simple lines of text.
The app is very nice. But no OCR and global PDF search. So a no go for me. Evernote is still my nr. 1 app. But I miss the visual note taking so much there.
Yeah, now imagine to jump your whole note taking system inside a half baked SaS that pretends to be a bit of everything just because it offers some flashy but also limited mind map functionalities as its main selling point. It won't do.
@@HiddenExphierarchical text based apps are also visual thinking apps. I guess you are trying to say “spacial” based apps. Yeah, mindmapping can help you understand things but is just a feature you wont necessarily use or need all the time so that you will base the app design on it. Maybe Heptabase will figure this out and if they keep up with the ambition that users make them their main notetaking app, then start Notionifying the app and provide more functions for conventional, hierarchical structuring, more UI customization so that the users decide how much hyerarchical or spacial they want their interface to be. Atm they are not providing much more core benefit than what Tinderbox has already done, except for some app integrations, ai and more straightforward usability.
