The visible mind mapping + tasks loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Ayoa earns its keep through interaction polish, collaboration, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

# Ayoa indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Ayoa workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Build a browser-based mind mapping + tasks editor with drag, resize, connect, keyboard shortcuts, autosave, and SVG or PNG export.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- high-fidelity import and export
- presentation and enterprise controls
- multiplayer cursors and comments
- large template libraries

If those capabilities are essential, use Excalidraw instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

Ayoa: The shapes are easy; customers pay for low-friction editing, reliable exports, collaboration, and a canvas that never fights them.

questions
Vibecode Ayoa

Kinda. The core of Ayoa is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: high-fidelity import and export, presentation and enterprise controls. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Ayoa cost?

Ayoa's pricing is usage-based or varies by plan · The official pricing URL is recorded, but a stable current amount was not safely recoverable in this pass. Do not publish a number until rechecked..

What do I lose by replacing Ayoa?

Honestly: high-fidelity import and export; presentation and enterprise controls; multiplayer cursors and comments; large template libraries. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Ayoa?

Yes: AFFiNE (A surprisingly complete docs-and-whiteboards workspace; the free plan allows unlimited local workspaces, but cloud history and team size are capped.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
