iOS Mobile App, programming in Swift

Bind is a mindmap-like information editor. Bind allows you to organize your data in planar space. Because of that, we can easily focus on the adjacency among data.

How is it looks using Bind to showcase people relations in the famous TV series Fargo.

App Introduction

In most cases, we do not remember the contents of the information, but the relationship among them. A good example is the contact book. You do not need to remember people's phone number digit by digit, but only their names. Through their names, you can find all the information you need.

Bind wants to provide a more general, more convenient way for us managing the data. In Bind, each piece of information is presented as a "node." A node can include various types of information: text, URL link, music, photo, video, sketch... After the creation of a node, you just need to drag a "bind" line from one node to another node. Then the two pieces of information are bound, meaning you can find each other from each side.
