As someone who makes extensive use of mind mapping and outlining tools, this is very ho-hum. The keyboard shortcuts are nearly non-existent, which immediately kills it. There is also no control over layout. For small maps the fan-out format is fine but for large maps, you really need a format that looks more like a vertical outline.

For an example of outlining done right, check out http://www.checkvist.com/ (I am not affiliated in any way, other than as a customer.)

Is there any kind of demo or do you have to register to even get a glimpse of this thing? Also looks like it has nothing to do with mind-mapping.
+1 for linking to (new to me) checkvist. Keyboard shortcuts done extremely right.
this list has died for me when i opened it, it asks for my email. unlike checkvist, this mind map is instantly working, fast solution.
