A friend of mine today just wrote to me about Kinopio, whether have been bought by some SV firm and it was our new brand. I can assure you, it couldn't be further from the truth - OrgPad.com is in my mind way more advanced and overall better designed tool for both small things and complex thoughts. It is used a lot by anybody from school children to top managers, specialists and academics. What we do much better than most tools in my mind is design of the user experience and simplicity, where we have been inspired by 40 years of research of Zdeněk Hedrlín PhD., Clojure(Script) the programming language we use and Apple when there was still Steve Jobs around.
We don't fear to do hard engineering to improve the user experience. We calculate differential equations on most animations in real time to simulate dampened spring movements. This is quite fast. Together with parts of the rendering rewritten into canvas rendering (e.g. links), OrgPad is now a lot faster than before. We have auto-resize and topologically mostly stable auto-layout, we support rich multimedia in OrgPages, images (even with transparency), iframes so you can embed other OrgPages, videos or even e.g. Google Spreadsheets or Calendar in the canvas. You can read an overview directly in OrgPad here: https://orgpad.com/s/VjMKIa7bfnN
And no, OrgPad is not trying to be a graph database more or less like Roam-research or a Zettelkasten clone. It is oriented more towards those, that think visually and want to mirror their brains in a natural way to have an opportunity to step back and look at it.
To be most transparent: You can try OrgPad for free. We will introduce the pricing on 29th of August (in a few days from now) but leave a limited free tier without adds forever. The standard tier will cost ~5 €/ month and include 5 GB of storage and most OrgPad features although limited. The professional tier for ~10 €/month will include all the bells and whistles plus 10 GB of storage and priority support. Until now, we have worked on the product itself - we are not a traditional startup, so we can afford this less traditional approach.
I hope, this will be understood as a frank recommendation for a tool, that might solve the readers problem in a more fitting way.
