I am still looking for a DAG based mind map instead of a tree structure. Bonus if the editor could tell me the shortest path between distant nodes, further solve it in a constrained time.

And I always think of nodes first then connections, many mindmap editor force you to create edge first, this drives me mad.

The problem though is visualizing a DAG with even 20 nodes becomes super confusing. So you'll end up with a mess and have no idea why those edges are running in every direction. It's not like mindmaps need something new to get more confusing than they already are...

It seems more like a management or usability problem, but currently we have availability problem.

Totally agreed, unfortuantely however this introduces significant constraints in the parent/child/sibling insertion and navigation model.
