This project is a prototype I have been working on for an online application to help in brainstorming. I decided to use Silverlight because I love the technology and the ability to install applications out of the browser to the users computer would be useful for such an application. I'm quite happy with how this prototype turned out. There are quite a few places I could improve it if I were to create a full web application for mind mapping. For example the unpleasant editor "bubble" would be one of the first things to go! It would also require the implementation of a user management system to allow users to save and load mind maps they have been working on. A feature I have thought would be good to implement is the ability to save mind maps to jpegs or even HTML. That way users wouldn't be restricted to just viewing mind maps within the application. A demo is available online here to have a play around with.
