Homepage reborn!

Mon, 12 December 2011 22:00:00 +0000

We've been busy bees at Wisdomap HQ, working hard to inject more magic into our four applications. To celebrate this, we've refreshed our homepage with a swanky new look. Here, users will be able to access our Personal, Schools, Law or Medicine applications.

This is the start of many new exciting things we have planned. Please reach out if you want to chat!

The Wisdomap Team.

Following customer feedback, we are happy to announce that we are now offering Paypal as our primary payment method. Users will still be able to upgrade and renew their Premium accounts via Google Checkout.

We have lots of exciting stuff planned for the next month, so keep your eyes on the blog!

Some big and small (but important!) updates

Sun, 21 August 2011 19:00:00 +0000

We are delighted to announce a few updates to Wisdomap.

Firstly, the Beta versions of our Medical and Law applications are up and running. We've had fantastic feedback from both law and medical students who use it to organise and memorise their medical and legal information. Also look out soon for a mobile version that will enable students to take their knowledge with them on the go! Once we launch, we will use this blog to showcase some of the cool features in both applications.

We've also listened to user feedback and made some changes to the right-hand-column, adding colours and numbered bullets to the text-editing options.

As ever, any questions or feature requests, please get in touch. We've been hiding for quite a while, working on developing our product and have quite a few surprises up our sleeves. Keep your eyes peeled!

Search through your maps

Sun, 27 March 2011 20:00:00 +0000

As of today, you can search through your maps within the Wisdomap application itself. Simply click on the magnifying glass icon in the toolbar and type in a search query. It will search through map names, nodes and notes to find exactly what you want!

Have fun searching and do drop us an email if you have any feedback or suggestions!

Good things come in threes!

Tue, 22 March 2011 23:00:00 +0000

Lots of users have requested more control over the positioning, size and colour of individual nodes. Today, we're launching all three at the same time!

To move, recolour or resize individual nodes, highlight the node and click the 'settings' button in toolbar. Any changes you make will automatically take effect. If you have any feedback on this feature or ideas for future ones, please drop us an email.

Happy node tweaking!

Teachers Ahoy!

Sun, 27 February 2011 23:00:00 +0000

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new-look Teacher Account and our range of Site Licences.

We have listened to user feedback and have improved all of our educational features.

Assignment mode has a new interface that allows teachers to set mind-map assignments and easily manage submissions. Students can also now save their mind-map assignments before submitting them.

Both teachers and students can also tag themselves with their class name or department which is great for classifying maps in the School/College/University branded library.

Keep your eye on the blog for new and exciting features that are coming soon.

Step by step

Sun, 30 January 2011 20:00:00 +0000

We like to think Wisdomap is pretty easy to use but today we've made it even easier by launching a step-by-step tutorial that walks first time users through the process of building a map.

It shows clearly in real-time how you add and rename nodes, add media files and notes and where to find some of our other cool features.

We've lots of exciting things planned for the next few months so stay tuned!

Big update

Thu, 4 November 2010 10:00:00 +0000

We are delighted to launch a faster and smoother Wisdomap!

Over the past two months, we have been working on several speed and reliability improvements to the Wisdomap core. We have also improved the user interface and added a new layout format called 'simple'.

We are now working on customised versions of the application for legal and medical education. Let us know what you think!

Updates

Sat, 26 June 2010 14:00:00 +0000

Lots of exciting things are happening at Wisdomap HQ!

We are currently developing project management functionality which we will offer through site licences for small and medium sized businesses. Wisdomap will help organisations develop ideas and manage projects visually.

We are also working on customised versions of Wisdomap for legal and medical education. These will allow legal and medical students to use Wisdomap to organise and memorise complex information like diseases and legal cases!

We are also busy improving the Wisdomap core to make it faster and more efficient. Keep an eye on the blog for the next couple of months for updates.

Real-time collaboration

Wed, 21 April 2010 16:00:00 +0000

Real-time collaboration is finally here! Premium users can now invite anyone by email to collaborate with them in real time on a map. The map updates automatically as anyone involved in the collaboration adds, edits or removes nodes, or edits the media or notes attached to nodes. Nodes are locked while a person is editing them to prevent confusion.

To activate collaboration on a map, simply click the collaborate button in the bottom toolbar and invite others to join via email. As ever, we welcome any feedback and ideas for new features.

Colour in notes

Wed, 6 January 2010 10:00:00 +0000

We like to think Wisdomap is already pretty colourful, as software goes.

But we are pleased to launch a new feature today: the ability to selectively colour parts of the notes attached to the nodes on your mind maps.

It's very intuitive to use - simply select the text you want coloured, and then click the new colour palette button to reveal a range of different colours.

We hope this helps you keep your notes vibrant and readable!

Wisdomap at Venturefest!

Tue, 5 January 2010 17:00:00 +0000

We are very pleased to announce that Wisdomap has been selected to attend Venturefest 2010, an exhibition which showcases inspiring science, technology and knowledge entrepreneurs. More information can found at www.venturefestyorkshire.net.

If you are attending make sure you visit our stand - we'd love to have a chat and may well be demoing some cool new features.

Improved right hand column

Sun, 6 September 2009 22:00:00 +0000

We are pleased to announce some useful changes to the right-hand column. You can now embolden, italicize and underline words in the notes section and also create bullet-point lists.

The right-hand column is also now expandable to three widths to maximize the impact of media files and notes to your maps - simply use the arrow icon half way down the column border to toggle between the three widths.

As always, we welcome all feedback on these changes and ideas for future features.

Presentation mode

Mon, 6 July 2009 12:00:00 +0000

Are you tired of sitting through monotonous Powerpoint presentations? Today we are excited to launch a new and unique premium account feature where mind maps can be used as presentations.

You simply select the order in which the map should unfold, and then use the space key to advance your presentation, revealing nodes and their associated media/notes sequentially. This is a colourful and engaging way to present and structure information and media files.

As ever, we welcome all feedback on current features or future ideas.
