#Books on scapple software

Here’re the first five chapters of my new unnamed project: I can get my ideas onto the screen, make connections between those ideas, and then step back and see the big picture. Everything is drag and droppable allowing for me to work quickly. It really was the product I was looking for: it’s both part mind-mapping and part free-form text editor. Scapple has been on my radar for a while, but it wasn’t until recently that I decided to step in and give it a shot.

I’ve even tried using Adobe Illustrator, which has a lot of similar features, but in the long run is too bulky and cumbersome for this type of work. I have even tried lists within a document, but I found it too difficult to step back and get the big picture. I have tried spreadsheets with Google Docs and Apple’s Numbers, but those are too cumbersome for this type of work. Paper is too small to write this sort of stuff out and ultimately a waste. So I have been looking for alternative means to organize my work without sacrificing space. Sadly, I don’t have room in my house for a whiteboard. Be it for wireframes, or just to start hashing out ideas, the temporary nature of a whiteboard allows me to be loose with my thoughts and explore avenues with little to no expense. I am foremost a visual thinker I work with whiteboards all the time for my day job. (I wrote a post about Scrivener as well, you should check it out.

I mentioned in my previous post that over the last month I have been exploring Scapple, software from Literature and Latte, creator of my favorite word processing software Scrivener. Robert Goddard at Clark University – via Flickr
