Mind Map → Shippable App
Mind maps in Taskade are more than static drawings. Every branch is a real project node. It can become a task, a database entry, an agent input, or an automation step. Brainstorm, then ship.
The nodes you brainstorm with are the nodes you ship with. Switch the view from Mind Map to List, Board, Table, Calendar, Gantt, or Org Chart. Each view shows the same project through a different lens. Export any view to CSV when you need the data in a spreadsheet.
