Good but no Dark Mode

I use it to jot down ideas. But the lack of dark theme kills my eyes…

你们好啊mindnode团队

近几天试用了很多款脑图软件,觉得你们的软件是比较好的,UI简洁,操作简单没有那么绕绕的。
但是比较不好的一点就是,你们是月度、年度订阅制的,而不是一次性订阅制,我有注意到你们给其他人的回复,说是为维护开放的必要成本,为后续更好的维护支持。我赞同订阅者对开发者的支持,为优秀的软件付费,是对的事情,优秀开发者也值得。
但是,我观察,你们的软件并非较多更新,观察功能,云同步是iCloud,是用户付费,而不是你们支付成本,ai功能你们说使用的苹果智能,可中国用户并不能用,你们的订阅制却要用户承担着一部分多余成本,在我看来,现在的订阅制,更像是开发者想要一只会持续下蛋的鸡,想榨干一只鸡的生命而不是去养更多的鸡。本质是你们创作思维枯竭,没有对未来持续推出更多优秀内容的信心。
留意到你们对一些用户的回复,你们回复说祝愿那些批评你们订阅者找到其他合适的工具,这一点我很费解,实际上用户是愿意支持你们的,但你们的回复却没有人情味。
一次性订阅制我认为不会给你们造成损失,反而会带来机遇,因为会有更多用户使用你们的产品。如果你们的某项服务可能会造成持续成本,你们完全可以采取一次性订阅+额外服务的模式,把持续支出的服务跟一次性订阅剥离,采取积分的模式来使用额外的服务,一次性订阅制用户可以每月赠送一定量积分,也可以额外购买更多的积分,如果你们的这些服务足够好,我相信会有人持续来购买积分。有很多软件都是如此。事实证明他们拥有更多用户和支持者。
我认为,你们这样会是比现在更好的模式,它会更加激励你们团队来保持健康的创新状态。
以上希望你们能考虑,如果你们更改为一次性订阅,我将不加犹豫,果断支持。谢谢。

‘Cloud only’ was an unwise move

Stupid decision to use CloudKit solely, without any possibility of saving documents. No way of keeping them in information managers like DEVONthink — or just wherever you want, in the traditional spirit of Mac apps.

Response from developer

We're sorry you're feeling this way! We understand that this change isn't for everyone, and we definitely didn't make the switch lightly. Just to clarify, many of Apple's newer apps, like Notes, Photos, and Freeform, are no longer based on traditional files. Instead, they use CloudKit to store and sync data. CloudKit is Apple's technology for syncing data across its services, and iCloud Drive is built on top of it as well. One of the benefits we've found with the synced documents are always available in MindNode, even when you're offline.

Strict Auto-Layout ruined this app

There’s no way you can lay out buy yourself, I quit

Too expensive

I downloaded this years ago to play around with it but never used it. Now that I’ve learned about mind mapping and effective study habits, I decided to give it a shot. However, paying 24.99 a year to JUST change the font? Absolutely ridiculous. Going with Simplemind instead since it’s a one time purchase.
