It's smooth on Linux. It'simple, but super handy to have on the side when using other apps. E.g., while using Xmind for developing something elaborate, I can switch over to Heimer just to shuffle a few ideas around. Scapple is great for this, but I'm using Linux and Scapple is not super smooth when using Crossover/Wine. I downloaded the appimage on KDE neon--wish I did so sooner.
Quite a basic program - but perfect to draw a simple diagram e.g. an organizational chart within a minute.
It is a simple, but very good basic too for mind-mapping. To really shine as "basic, but all-you-need package", it lacks ability to save items as templates (or ability to tag them) and some sort of grouping mechanic.
