Start Making Slates without Registration
While it is recommended that you sign up for a free account, you can also start making slates without registration. This said, you will require an account to save and share your slates.
Pick a Color & Add images & Links to Your Nodes
When you open the canvas you will see a small box (node) where you can start building on your visualization. The canvas has a zoom widget, a bird’s eye view at the top right corner and a single node to begin with. You can drag the node, double click on it to enter text and hit the Settings menu above the note to reveal additional options.
The Settings menu reveals options for changing the color for the node, to add an image inside the node, as well as options for deleting the node, adding a link and the option to connect it to another node.
You can add images to nodes via URL or by searching for images using keywords. The selected images are embedded within the node. You can also add text overlay over the embedded images inside the nodes and change node shape.
Create Mind Maps, Diagrams & Illustrations
Using this simple web app you can create visualizations like mind maps, diagrams, illustrations and the like.
