What’s new, 2026 Edition

Welcome to a slightly more timely update on what’s new in Coggle (has it really been only a few months since the last one!).

Sign in By Email

First, at coggle.it/login you’ll notice a brand new option to ‘Sign in by Email Address’. Until now we’ve only supported social sign-ins, but now you’ve got an even more convenient option to create mindmaps, without needing a google/microsoft/apple account.

The email sign-in will send a secure code to your email address for each log-in (there’s no password). We’ve opted for a 12 digit code, along with some other security enhancements over the 6-digit email sign-in codes you might have seen on other sites, to make sure this option is secure.

Enhanced Security Settings

And on the subject of security you’ll also notice a new security section of your settings page:

This allows you to add passkeys for seamless and phishing-proof login. Passkeys are stored by your browser or device, can be secured by biometrics, and are both the fastest and the most secure way to sign in. (That’s the kind of security we like!)

To use a passkey to sign in click on 'sign in by email’ on the login page. Your browser will offer to use your passkey, and then once you’ve authorised it (using fingerprint / faceID depending on your device) you’ll be instantly signed in, without needing to leave the page or find an email code.

Share by QR Code

Our second update is also about making using Coggle easier, anywhere. We’ve always supported sharing Coggle diagrams using links, but sometimes a long link is cumbersome and difficult to use, requiring copying and pasting or sharing into an email or message. If you’re in the same room as whoever you want to share your mindmap with, then there’s now a much easier way:

In the revamped sharing menu click 'Create QR Code’: anyone can scan this with their camera app, to instantly get access!

Just like links, QR codes also allow editing with our awesome plan, so they’re a really fast way to get an in-person brainstorming session up and running!

What’s next?

Aside from all our other normal bug fixes and snappy speed improvements, that’s all for now.

But we’ve got another big update to make Coggle the most powerful mindmapping app out there coming soon, so stay tuned!

As always if you have any feedback or suggestions about updates, just drop us a message at hello@coggle.it.

After brainstorming and thinking about the theme of movement, I found I was really interested in movement at the beach! I used the mindmap to plan and document some of my ideas for this concept as well as some potential artists to research.

There’s so much movement constantly happening at the beach, the sea, the wind, the formation of rocks, the seaweed and even in the patterns on shells! I’m really excited to ‘dive’ into this new idea and explore all the different types of movement happening along the coast.

There’s so many beaches in my home county Sligo, which means there’s a lot of opportunities for primary research and discovery.

I’m excited for this project because I’m really interested in both the geography and beauty in movement along the coastline, it will be enjoyable to explore it.

Movement mindmap-brainstorming ideas for new theme

I have been thinking about the new theme of movement and been brain storming ideas for an hour and this one was the one I decided to go with to research and I found that tjis combines my interests both of transport and and people and capturing my movements , and feel what I want to research people, transport and urban life all captures movement in the same places and works well together. I want to capture moments of movement in a unique way through street view or Arielview point of Limerick city- movement of strangers-people,buses,trains,cars,bikes, trees, birds

I will try to get some primary research tomorrow while out in the city. Taking photographs with slow shutter speed and fast and see what effects that can create as well as photographs from high buildings for Ariel effect. While also sketching while the people and traffics moves on. I’m looking forward to making and seeing how this can progress forward as I feel the connection from past project of consumption and production of trains and personal connection works well with this new theme and how I can create work that combines all of what I like to explore within my work, which is people, street views, transport, nature, animals and urban life.

New Project: Movement

Our new brief for the electives project is Movement! I have a lot of ideas for this project and I’m really excited to start narrowing them down. My aim for this project is to try and work more from tangible primary sources and to enjoy and get comfortable with the mediums I’ve chosen for the electives.

Getting my Driver’s License P.0/?

Right so. Even though getting my driver’s license would literally be the thing that turns my life around completely, I’ve procrastinated and avoided it for as long as I have. I’m 23 years old now. I don’t want to be stuck in this god damn house anymore. I don’t want to keep feeling the embarassment of telling another person that I don’t have my license. Or the hurt of forgetting what valid reasons I have, like how the way my brain works makes working memory, spatial awareness, and my ability to take verbal directions all copiously difficult.

However. I also don’t want to come into this skill via shaming myself about how I ‘should’ve done this sooner’. I’m turning the experience of learning how to drive into an opportunity to practice treating myself compassionately WHILE growing my tolerance for discomfort and distress. And, into an opportunity to practice articulating myself and potentially explore topics I find interesting.

This is how me using blogging as a tool to learn how to drive is gonna work:

• Within each post, I’m going to connect a skill related to driving with whatever the fuck I feel like talking about
• I’m giving myself a space of 750-2000 words per post to learn about the driving skill of my choice via elaboration: establish which driving skill I’d like to enable myself to speak at length about, assess what I think I know/already know/need to know, explore what that skill entails, and (throughout this) how I find relevance between that skill and I
• I’m always gonna use a “read the rest” line and the post scheduling function to make sure it doesn’t take up too much room on someone’s feed from the get
• I won’t limit any one skill to a certain amount of posts; I’ll talk about each subject as long as they need to be talked about
• I will change these guidelines as needed; HOWEVER I will allso take caution against using overplanning to justify underdoing (I am prioritizing momentum)

How to make a map of your mind via Austin Kleon [Shared]

When ideas aren’t coming, or I’m confused about what’s going on in my head, I’ll make something called a mind map. Starting in the middle of a notebook page, I’ll draw a picture, or write a word or phrase with a box or a circle around it, then I’ll write the first word or phrase that comes to my mind next to it, enclose it with a box or a circle, and draw a line connecting them. I’ll repeat this process until the page is full.

Mit Klarheit zum Kern: Methoden der Zusammenfassung

Zusammenfassungen sind ein unschlagbares Werkzeug – im Studium, im Beruf und im Alltag. Während ich im ersten Beitrag die Bedeutung von Zusammenfassungen beleuchtet habe, geht es heute um die Methoden: Wie lassen sich Informationen effektiv und nachhaltig aufbereiten? Egal ob du lieber klassisch textbasiert arbeitest oder visuelle Techniken wie Mindmaps und Sketchnotes bevorzugst – hier findest…

Mindmaps

I’ve been a long-time fan of mind maps, as a means to take notes while reading books, and to help organize thoughts and ideas in my day job. If you’ve explored the content of this blog, you’ll have seen I have a page of mind maps (here) covering various subjects. I’ve published them, as much to share them freely, as to provide a quick access back to them for myself.

For a long time, I’ve been…

Just let me tell you my experience about mindmap control:
It’s time to introduce myself on a deeper level! It’s time to show you the real fight of heaven and hell, how they’re really existing, without doubt or even benefits. I will explain the reality as ordinary as possible without regrets, so no other could ever beat that truth, which I want to explain…I do never focus on any personal might as strict as possible and I never do explain a manipulate or mindset convinience. So, please give me your attention of delightful trust, on how I can handle a power of consitution, which is on an elitary level of celebrities, presidents or billionaires and all the random ones.I just do use my experience as a hardlined context on evaluate, as long the requested set of told instruction would give me a reason of acknowledgment, to give me a state of control about a condition, that has almost everytime a possible way of interfere by just inject that topic into an unknown moment, that the lifetime could offer as another purpose of coordination, as if any proposed manipulate, was already expected on interception. Check always: Is that true? As that’s their simple way of protection, to keep their own reality in a meaning of accepted participation, such as like a game, they all do play to believe, but their instances are unsure in everything, that is  also used as a source of negative background correlate, to convince or prove some other person, this game is legit proven.Because, I do know, that would be a wrong decision, if I would combine my personal statement with all pretending, from deeply emotional up to a highest intellectual awareness, all vary of a misunderstood is always the attack of harm against the selfish fictionary vision of society all around the world, we all do scope with our own mindset as a set of adapted rules, whom are kept and enslaved by their own lost of their control and failure, that seems an infinite prison of excuses, or even more odd, on a worse scenario, a plan of betrayal to gain violence as much as compensated, if the focus would ever fail. That’s the simple workflow of secret agencies and elitary lodges or groups of interest, which are rooting their control within public relations as a chronicle to have the access to some metaphysical arrange by all members or introduced ones.Imagine a person talks to you. The message will give you some insights about that persons state, how much awareness is ongoing for a powerful plan or just an actual interest of business focused activity to gain more might on stable progress and is already a “bad tryout” to achieve some random setup in your mind as a useful and real argument, that can be checked by your indirect understood, how deeply some constellated manipulate could arrange a change into the power and destine of a reachout as always stated as a passive and chaotic uncontrollable happening, but all success is secured for occur. Most companies are mostly into achieving only some acknowledged statistics to support a meaningful direction, which was recognized as a state of trendsetting or something special enforced, which may be already hyped to the highest level of establishing, would just be some irrational arrange, as like all that other ordinary bullshit is formed into other explainations already, how other lobbyists are using their influence as a knowledge about the same fact, which all people are using as a strategy for been exposed as powerful by fame or that person would like to prove the establishment as truly accessible on higher stages and thinks, to have all privileges as a requester, who is capable to be a part of some widen attention. But…Forget it! It’s pure ignorance. Nothing less. A pool for easy toxic betray… known as a chaotic lost of control, that’s only known as a source for imaginary property and commonly known…

Mindmaps 2

Looking at, and making more mindmaps to really try and get a solid idea for the game out there.

I’m still stuck between water/under the sea and space, so maybe I’ll make a combination of the two.

There’s a similar theme between them of little to no gravity while experiencing them. I know it’s more so the feeling of floating rather than having no gravity but you know what I mean.

This is what I have for my Games mindmap so far.

After doing a bit more of the mindmap, I realised that everything links back to Fortnite. Pokemon, which has no correlation with it, is in Smash Bros. Ryu from Street Fighter is in Smash Bros. Ryu is also in Fortnite. Therefore that connects Pokemon and Fortnite.

To showcase some of the Randomly Generated Dungeons I mentioned in my mindmap here (Image for reference) here’s some gameplay of Persona 3 Portable.

The reason I’m using Portable and not Reload even though Reload is the newer game is due to the fact that Portable’s randomised dungeon layout is a lot simpler to understand with a fewer variety of rooms which would probably be what I aim for with my project.

Mind map about my topic

Thoughts. Week 2 Start

I think after some consideration, I want to focus on the Space theme I got from the mindmap (I think I already made this clear from what I’ve said about it so far).

I need to do more research on Space games.
Things like No Mans Sky, Starfield, Kerbal Space Program, Universe Sandbox, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Halo.

I looked at the wikipedia page for the Saturn V and the Apollo 13 mission.

Mindmap Ideas

From the big mindmap I shared in my previous blog post, I need to take 3 headings and make my own mindmaps surrounding them.

Space:
I like space. I’ve liked space since I was very young and used to watch documentaries on these things from scientists like Brian Cox. I’ve always found black holes to be both cool and very terrifying. Nobody knows what’s inside of one and it’s that mystery that’s interesting to me. I think I’m too fixated on this idea to try out any other ideas but I can give it a shot anyways. Don’t be surprised if my final project ends up being about black holes and space of some sort.

Here’s the mindmap I’ve got for this.

Light:
This was another heading on the mindmap.

Here’s the mindmap I’ve got for this.

The Sea:
This was a third heading on the mindmap.

Here’s the mindmap I’ve got for this.
