Anyone use Scapple?
I'm pretty sure there are a number of Scrivener enthusiasts here, I'm wondering if any of you use their other software, Scapple. I've been playing with the trial version, and I'm impressed by how quickly I can put together ideas. I've used mind mapping software before, but found myself lost in the intricacies of how to create child nodes or create interesting colours and icons. The advantage of Scapple is that there's none of the formating found in mind mapping software. It's just, double click the screen, create a note, create others as they occur and link them by simply sitting one on top of the other.
After doing this, I tried importing some icons etc, but really didn't need them. I did add colour to some of the major notes, but that's about all.
I formatted a Scapple for a complete plot as fast as I could think of it and will probably turn it into flash fiction.
Would be interested in what others who've tried this and other mind mapping software think of it.
