Thanks for watching guys!! Improve your productivity through AI with Rize: rize.io/shuomi

[@LifeInGray696]

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.

[@DanToruno]

Thanks for this review I've been on the fence about making this tool one of my daily drivers.

[@cheerfulcynic]

Best overview video I have seen on Heptabase so far. Straight forward but lots of visual examples. Tx Shu

[@jeffhallum]

Great review - thank you. Cheers from Texas !

Scrintal is another solid option with similar functionality and they're based in Sweaden so, automagically cooler.

I wish there was a lifetime deal for this. I have too many subscriptions.

[@MakrusRomainczyk]

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.

the world is getting all subscription People got like WEF you'll own nothing and be happy

[@Votonaomudanada]

The sallary doesen't goes up as all subscription internet has

[@trombone7]

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.

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.

Heptabase advantage over Margin Note 3 ?

[@luizfelipecristofari5588]

I use Scrintal. Do basically de same thing for the half price.

[@MakrusRomainczyk]

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 ;-)

[@meathead919]

Why should I use $11 per month when I can use Obsidian with Canvas (Whiteboards) for free. Easy decision for me to stay with Obsidian.

[@productivity8696]

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.

[@loopless6248]

It it was 5 $ ???

[@imbujo]

Interesting but very expensive...lacks of a free version...but thank you...great video as usual ;)

[@neadfiles]

Heptabase offers a free, one week trial.

[@sharonlima8913]

​@@neadfilesmost would need more than that

[@Cenot4ph]

pretty uninteresting when you have Obsidian that can do everything at no cost versus Heptabase with vendor lock and monthly subscription

[@ArielLunaa]

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.

[@AndresIbanezVasquez]

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.

[@ムーン-y3u]

Its been around for ages in internet time. What took you so long?

[@rstm32]

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.

[@robertlee7605]

After the car crash at Evernote I have moved all notes to Bearnotes

Readwise sync slows down helptabase drastically!

[@StevenMichels]

Yes, the constant zooming is not appealing. White boards and mind maps are overrated!

[@ムーン-y3u]

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.

[@HiddenExp]

Maybe you are not into visual thinking? Putting things into a spatial order helps me to capture subtle associations and to remember where things are

[@ArielLunaa]

⁠@@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.

[@martinkrejzek7803]

Orgpad is better

[@HiddenExp]

Hi! Orgpad is amazing but I don't know if it can compete in functionality
