Andrew List all thorts to browser: A feature I did not use until today. But I was wishing that it would be helpful if I could get a list of links! Interesting how sometimes features on your wishlist already exist somewhere but you don't know about them. Also, there are many features. Even if this feature was presented in a video, I would have likely not paid attention. It is when you need something that is helpful for someone to point it out! Hence, the need for such communities! May be you can post the picture for listing thorts here. May be others fill find it useful.

Here is a list of Thortspace pros and cons that I created in response to someone's question. As with any software, pros and cons, while Plectica is stronger in some important ways, the pros of Thortspace make this tool work better for us. I compare Plectica and Thortspace because these are the two I consider "rapid brainwriting tools." kumu looks elegant but not for rapid brainwriting.

Pros:

1. Node-link diagram can be viewed as table

2. Ease of transfer to Excel

3. Can easily re-arrange ideas into groups

4. Visually engaging - I share a lot in Facebook groups, people respond well to Thortspace

5.Circles rather than squares (will say more on this later)

6.Use of color. Ananth (our son) finds color useful in learning. A view such as the one below is very helpful for him. He also likes being able to pull one up, and I can easily create Excel version (see pictures below)

7. I can show journeys. I will make Anatomy sphere into journey and share soon.

8. Journeys means stories. I like Thortspace for storytelling.

9. Thortspace embeds well on my website. See https://www.addittogether.com/music-in-the-cloud for an example

10. Very important for me: Phil Shepherd and Andrew Bindon are very approachable, open to feedback, and highly engaged.

Cons:

1. Cannot manipulate information on the web, desktop only

2. Support for modeling relationships needs to be strengthened

3. Should have choice of colors (specifying hex codes). I want to be able to use my brand colors.

4. Some features such as labeling maps that kumu does really well.

5. Would like to be able to store more data with each node - again kumu is very good at this
