Use XMind to map your projects
Posted by Erixun in Opensource on November 28, 2010
Previously I wrote about FreeMind, an opensource mind mapping software that works quite well. Enter XMind, which takes this to another level.
With some serious business features (security, collaboration, live web-based editing) in its paid version, the free one works quite well for most single user mind mapping needs.

DW alternatives: Opensource comes close
Posted by Erixun in Opensource on April 4, 2010
There are opensource alternatives to Adobe Dreamweaver, but DW is still the king!
I tried the following programs:
Aptana Studio
This is by far the closest contender. It comes close to what DW can do including site management (FTP and SSH based), Ajax library support, a vast array of plugins, native Rails support etc.. The missing WYSIWYG editor makes quick and dirty creation a bit monotonous and clunky. But for complex editing where visual is not the desired mode… Aptana kicks some ass.
Amaya (by W3C)
Not as feature full as Aptana, Amaya is a solid cross platform web coding environment. With some simple wizards and a WYSIWYG editor, Amaya can be used to create simple pages very quickly. For the advanced coder, the source editor is ample by not stellar.
Nvu
(Komposer)
Nvu is pretty slick and easy to use. It is the lowest starting learning curve of all of the software listed here. Some features are pretty dumbed down and the lack of tag suggestions and source editing tools makes this package a little to simple for advanced java and framework based jobs.

FreeMind: Finally a FREE Mind Mapping Solution
Posted by Erixun in Opensource on February 26, 2010
MindMapping software is expensive. Some of the better ones are:
- MindJet Mind Manager $250 for Mac, $350 for Windows (Version 8 )
- ConceptDraw MindMap $200 for Mac and Windows
eMind, the opensource contender. While on the rare occasions I have had to produce a mindmap I would pull out ol’ faithful (OpenOffice Draw), this last time I gave MindFree a whirl. After 10 minutes, I quit in frustration. It is a little more clunky to operate and plot than some others I have used in the past. However, looking at the screenshots on their website, I saw samples of very rich and detailed mind maps. Determined to “just do it” (courtesy of Nike) I sat and forced myself to complete the project at hand and an amazing thing happened. I really got to know this piece of software and I will have to admit….. I LOVE IT.
Some awesome features:
- Its written in Java so very cross-platform compatible (a problem addressed by many open source projects trying to write multiple versions for native OS environments)
- Almost every thing can be styled in HTML which pleases code monkeys like me very much (Tip: “Edit Long Node…”)
- A perfect balance between WYSIWYG and code manipulation
- Some hacked compatibility with the proprietary versions mentioned above
- Only 1 root topic allowed
- Lack of proper attribute management
- Clunky node placement and management
- Quirky way to select nodes (gets some getting used to)
