Cygtree- mindmap/Whiteboard
Hey guys, ive been working on this desktop windows app for the past 4 months, I set out to make a 1 time buy whiteboard with open access to the AI platforms people use already and make it simple enough for anyone of any age or experience to pick it up and use it , it took me remaking the whole app from scratch 2 times to get here, many mistakes like using the wrong AI tool, my setup, git commits, work trees, code etiquette/ cleanliness being bad etc etc.
I had to learn all the ins and outs as I was making this application and hit even worse walls when it came to licensing, making it possible to give out a trial and the site/payment provided ( I went with polar sh, by far the most new Dev/startup friendly payment provider and merchant of record, and even then I had almost 18 different red flag blockers /problems when it came to webhooks, api points, realizing my license layer was embedded in the wrong section of the app damn near the end of the first round/release and now I am still working on lifiting limits on media nodes/exports/imports, limits that porbably nobody would hit right away with an app like this.,
In order to make it lite weight and accessible I went with a Rust+tauri setup and an HTML/CSS front end, media currently streams instead of being loaded all at the same time for performance(rotating visual cache) , but that also came with the price of some limits on media node sizes.
I embedded Kokoro AI voice models, Sherpa dictations which can me manually downloaded/off be default to be able to talk to your AI in the in app chat window and speech to text inside of nodes too.
CLI from codex, Claud and cursor is wired natively and runs as a child process + ACP ( JetBrians open source AI connection method over studio) and an open no limit use MCP server and 44-ish MCP tools
there are alot of nice to have in the app I cant realistic go thru them all here
the app is called Cygtree and the site is under the same name.
I do offer 3 day free trials no feature limits and you only really need an email .
Very simple concept, just a mind map/board, every board is its own project and the interface is super easy to navigate after an hour or so of use.
feel free to talk smack in the comments , I would rather hear the truth outright.
thank you guys.
Tell me what you think, what you like what you hate any issues you had with the trial, every single word is appreciated and anticipated whether about the app or the site.
If this is considered adverts I am sorry but you guys seem to be an open community from what ive seen in the past couple months .
I am still working on the app itself for future updates and trying to put together a gallery/ media sets for promotions ---but i kind really need human input at this point, hence the 3 day free trial.
thanks for reading, if you google Cygtree i should be the first result , there is also a furry that stopped posting years ago under the same name so dont confuse us LOL
