OrgPad Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Any app/SW recommendations for huge mindmap?

  Check out OrgPad which I am developing. It works differently that nodes are much more powerful, can contain arbitrary texts, links, images, videos or even other nested diagrams. So one can create really powerful things in it. Source: 10 months ago

• looking for a way to create this type of mind map

  Check out OrgPad. We offer a free canvas where anything can be placed and connected in an arbitrary way. One can insert images, videos, or even other websites and OrgPad documents. And beautiful presentations can be easily created. Source: 10 months ago

• Looking for an app that combines Zettelkasten + Linked-Notes + MindMapping

  You can check out OrgPad. We are much more visually focused and the system is very powerful. Many people from Zettelkasten community use our product. Source: 10 months ago

• Damped Springs

  At OrgPad, we apply a similar approach to all animations in the 2D canvas. You can try it out even on our home page which is actually done as an interactive OrgPage: https://orgpad.com. The motion is much more natural and smooth, as if things had a bit of mass/ momentum. We have an internal debugger that can be enabled using a keyboard shortcut to configure the anim framework live. There you can play with many... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• minmap programme that lets you create bulletpoints within a bubble

  Check out OrgPad. It lets you have a text/image area with each bubble to do, I think, exactly what you're looking for. Source: about 1 year ago

• Learn Lisp the Hard Way

  I guess basically for anything. From AutoCAD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoLISP) extensions to grammar checking engines (https://www.grammarly.com/blog/engineering/running-lisp-in-production/)? If you count Clojure and ClojureScript as kind of Lisp then for instance our whole product (https://orgpad.com) backend and frontend is written in it. Of course there is also some SQL, CSS etc. In between but basically... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Best/Easy UI lib to use with clojurescript

  We are using Material-ui for OrgPad by building our own wrapper for components we needed, plus adding some new components. I wanted to describe components by Clojure data and integrate them with the rest of our system (i.e., centralised mouse handling). For example, to create a Share button, we use the following code:.

• Roam for "visual thinkers"?

  I am using OrgPad in the first phase of thinking or storyboarding – it allows including huge amount of content into nodes (including videos) – after this I export the linear "walk" through my graph and put it into Roam as a standard outline. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I send data between front end and back end?

  Either Ajax request or use Websockets. If you are not familiar with web development in general or in Clojure(Script) in particular, I recommend this book: https://pragprog.com/titles/dswdcloj3/web-development-with-clojure-third-edition/. I have used its second edition when I started building OrgPad's backend and it was great. Source: over 1 year ago

• Preferred ClojureScript tools?

  At OrgPad, we use Shadow-cljs with Reagent and Re-frame and it is great: https://orgpad.com/s/it-architecture. For generating CSS, we use Garden. For Websockets, we use Sente. Other than that, we try to keep the number of dependencies as small as possible. Shadow-cljs offers a lot of things: integration with NPM, build-in support for web workers, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do you draw the functions?

  I prefer to draw/think of higher abstractions within the code, like interactions between different modules, etc. Code itself is much better for viewing individual functions. At OrgPad, we use OrgPad to visualize everything, to plan our development, to track progress, etc. I have even made a short video when I describe six different ways we use OrgPad for development.

• Mind Map Task Management App? For one person, for work and personal

  You can check out OrgPad. It is possible to create arbitrary diagrams, put arbitrary contents into nodes, including images, videos or even other embedded websites. We frequently used this to track todolists for various projects, for example one approach is to color finished tasks by green; but this is fully up to you. We do not have any connections to calendar, automatic notification of upcoming tasks, etc., but... Source: over 1 year ago

• Really disappointed in XMind - wasted money

  Check out OrgPad. It is very powerful and we actively develop it and improve it all the time. It gives you total freedom how you want to place stuff, you can easily combine images, videos, embed one document into another. Exporting is possible to PDF (https://orgpad.com/s/print) and we plan to further improve this function later this year. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How do you overcome the lack of completion in ClojureScript

  In OrgPad, we use IntelliJ with Cursive and there are completions on two key things: ClojureScript function names and keywords. We use a lot of fully qualified keywords, so I quickly get offers what is used elsewhere. And I can also quickly search for usages of functions and keywords. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How's working on Clojure at large scale systems?

  Your belief that static types matter is bullshit. I have spent last 3.5 years coding OrgPad in Clojure (mainly ClojureScript) and things which would be caught by a type checker are incredibly rare and almost always are discovered pretty much immediately as typos while writing the code (swapped function arguments, misspelled keys, the data having a different structure). If you really believe that these are serious... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Mindmap

  Check out https://orgpad.com. When I was doing math/computer science research at university, I have used an early prototype for my teaching, my research and conference presentations. After I left academia, I went to Google which I left 1.5 years later to work on OrgPad full time. The idea itself was created by a great Czech mathematician Zdenek Hedrlin who was thinking about 40 years how to use computers to better... Source: almost 2 years ago

• (Hickey video question) Can someone point me to the talk where he describes the “levels” of problems we work on?

  I love the part where he says that he made Clojure for himself and solving other people's problems is tricky. I fully agree with that and in OrgPad, we also started by solving our own problems. And there are actually a few more parallels between OrgPad and Clojure. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Mind mapping on Android?

  We have recently added editing for mobile and tablet devices for OrgPad and it is really amazing. Data are automatically stored online and available from everywhere. Check out our new intro page https://orgpad.com built directly in OrgPad. Source: about 2 years ago

• Google Docs New Feature: Pageless

  It is still linear/ rigid in a way. We try to break this approach with OrgPad (https://orgpad.com/) and propose an alternative way of working with and thinking about information. In OrgPad, you have cells (nodes/ vertexes) and connect them with one or more directed or undirected connections (links/ edges) or can leave them without a connection. This is all done using a mouse and dragging or clicking. 7-year-olds... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Mapping help ticket assignments

  Check out https://orgpad.com. It allows to visually organize arbitrary data, exactly as needed. We use it for everything within OrgPad and many other people use it, from university studies/research to IT specialists. If you want, we can arrange a video call to discuss your needs.

• What do you think is the biggest obstacle for new programmers to pick up Clojure?

  My way for building the first version of OrgPad server as well. Over time, we have evolved the stuff and add other things (sending emails, S3 storage, scheduling using tea-time). Source: about 2 years ago
