我们做 MindMax 在线文档编辑器，是因为写几行字不该需要先做一个决定。 Word 太重；Obsidian 要先学一套体系；Notion 本是搭工作空间的工具，而你只想要一页纸。 在线编辑器就站在这个空缺里：打开一个浏览器标签页就能写，底层是 Markdown，写完是一份真正的文档，AI 就在你的光标旁边。

这篇文章讲讲背后的思考：现有工具在“轻度使用”上差在哪，我们决定做什么，以及它现在能做什么。

AI 思考画布是一块把问题铺开来想的画布：一个问题在中间，摊成一条条可以逐支展开的分支。每条分支是一张写着理由的卡，不是一个关键词；一张枢纽卡说出这几支合起来意味着什么；站不住的就删掉。MindMax 思考画布在浏览器里免费用。

拿机器一起想事情，通常只有两种形状，而两种都会丢东西。对话回答是一列滚过去的文字——第二个问题一问，第一个就滚出视野，想比较两个角度，就得在脑子里同时拿着它们。空白思维导图确实能让一切留在眼前，但图要你自己填，而多数人填进去的，是那三四个每次都伸手就够得着的角度。

MindMax v1.3 的核心是彻底消除文档与 AI 之间的摩擦。在此之前，提问往往需要先建好整个工作空间， 并在右栏全局会话里手动引用或点击标签引入当前文档。v1.3 让每份打开的文档都即刻拥有专属对话， 支持从系统直接打开单文件即开即读，为文档中的每张图片配备了悬浮工具条，并推出了三款免安装的 网页轻量应用，让你在任何浏览器里都能随手写、想、读。

What is in it​

• 每份文档都有专属右栏对话。 打开任何标签页——无论是 Markdown 笔记、PDF、EPUB、演示文稿、数据代码， 还是思考画布与图片——右栏助手都自然归属于这篇文档。直接问「第三节的核心论点是什么」或「帮我精简这段」， AI 自然基于当前文档回答与修订，无需手动 @ 文件或点选引用标签。
• 起手页与工作空间 Agent 职责分明。 当你想横跨整个资料库提问而不是只针对当前这篇文档时，左侧 Agent 按钮与起手页（Launchpad）提供了专属的大对话入口。文档对话专注当前文件，工作空间对话统揽全局，边界一眼即明。
• 单文件直接打开，无需先建工作空间。 临时收到一份论文 PDF、电子书或 Markdown 草稿，不必再特意新建或 选择一个文件夹项目。从访达/资源管理器直接用 MindMax 打开，或拖入欢迎界面，即可立即使用导读、OCR 识别、 逐字引文溯源与文档对话。
• 文档图片悬浮工具条。 鼠标悬停在 Markdown 编辑器或阅读视图（包括 PDF 与幻灯片中的图片）的任何图片上， 右上角即刻浮出快捷动作条：一键向 AI 提问整张图、放大查看、转为笔记、转为文字作为修订建议插入正文下方， 或直接将图片与图注发送到思考画布展开分析。
• 网页版文档编辑器（MindMax Write）。 免安装、免注册的轻量在线文档工具（mindmax.me/write）。 完美解决从 ChatGPT、Claude 复制数学公式、复杂表格或 Mermaid 图表到 Word 时的排版乱码与格式坍塌问题。 支持光标处行内 AI 与修订模式，可无损导出原生公式 Word（.docx）、排版 PDF 或精美图片卡片。
• 网页版 AI 思考画布（MindMax Think）。 上线免安装的结构化思考工具（mindmax.me/think）。 内置咨询与高阶思维方法（MECE、前提审查、SCAMPER、最强反方等），让卡片有逻辑地长出分支并收束为枢纽结论， 思考成熟后可一键交接至 Write 展开成文。
• 网页版 AI 长文阅读（MindMax Read）。 网页阅读工具（mindmax.me/read）就位，支持书籍与 长文档的章节结构拆解、AI 导读与精确到页码的真源逐字引文溯源。
• 一键发布为可分享的卡片页。 卡片稿可一键发布为托管在 cards.mindmax.me 上的卡片阅读页。为手机竖屏翻页 而设计，每张卡片都保留可追溯的出处片段，修改内容链接不变，即使在关闭 JavaScript 的极简环境下也能优雅阅读。
• 双栏学术论文与复杂公式解析优化。 针对学术期刊的双栏排版进行了专门强化，严格按栏阅读，避免跨栏串行； 准确提取脚注与浮动图表，行内公式不再被误判为表格，并为含复杂公式文档提供「AI 识别」入口。

Known rough edges​

• 单文件模式下没有跨文件双向链接。 在工作空间外部直接打开单文件时，由于没有全局文件索引，双向链接面板和 未链接提及不会生效。如需在大量笔记间漫游，仍建议打开工作空间文件夹。
• 网页版草稿依赖浏览器本地存储。 网页端（Write / Think / Read）的临时草稿保存在浏览器的 IndexedDB 中。 清理浏览器缓存或在无痕模式下关闭窗口会导致未导出的草稿丢失，重要草稿请及时导出或登录同步。
• 触屏设备上的图片工具条。 在平板或触控屏上，图片工具条需轻点图片唤出，偶尔需要点击外部区域来关闭工具条。

Where to start​

打开任何一篇文档或 PDF，在右栏助手里直接提问，体验全新的文档专属对话；如果想在网页端快速排版或推演问题， 可以直接打开 MindMax Write 或 MindMax Think。桌面端老用户无需手动重装， 应用会在后台静默获取更新，收到提示后重启即可升级至 v1.3.0。

MindMax 把编辑器放在主界面，因为知识工作通常不是从一个组织完整的问题开始。它从半句话、一个矛盾，或一个还没想明白的念头开始。文档可以让这个粗糙的想法逐渐成为上下文、计划，最终变成一篇完成的作品。

当你已经知道要问什么时，对话框很有用。但如果每项工作都要先组织成提示词，每个有用的回答又都得手动搬进文档，这个界面就让你把同一份工作整理两遍。我们做 MindMax 时选择了另一种出发点：打开一页，开始写，让 AI 来到已经在进行的工作里。

一份稿子能不能拿到好意见，取决于三件你自己能掌控的事：问题问得够不够窄，对方开始批注之前要做多少准备，以及每条意见回来时是不是挂在它所说的那句话上。这三件事做对了，一轮意见一个晚上就能改成第二稿，而不是来回拉扯一个星期。

论文章节要拿到好意见，需要三件事：导师知道你这一轮想要什么，他不做任何准备就能批注，以及你交回的第二稿能让他一眼看出每条意见你是怎么处理的。前两件缩短的是他那一段，第三件缩短的是下一轮——而写论文的大部分时间，恰恰耗在一轮又一轮上。

MindMax v1.2.2 is about the comments that matter most and that MindMax could not reach before: the ones from people who do not use it. Request review sends a draft as a link, and what your supervisor, editor or client says about it comes back onto the passages, ready to revise from.

What is in it​

• Request review. In a Markdown document, choose Request review… from the comments panel menu. You get a link to send however you like. Your reviewer opens it in any browser, phone included, with no account and nothing to install, selects a sentence and comments, asks a question, or suggests the wording they would use.
• Their comments land in your comments panel. On the passages they are about, tagged with the reviewer's name, with an External filter to see only theirs. Revise from them like your own: each group of edits names the comment it answers.
• They see what you did. Reply, mark a comment done, or Decline it with a reason. Their page shows “Author replied”, “Changed as suggested” or “Author kept it as is”.
• Rounds on the same link. After revising, Send new round. The link opens the new version, and reviewers can switch to See changes for what moved and how each earlier comment was handled.
• You decide how long. Open for 7, 14 or 30 days, extendable. End the review to close comments, or withdraw the link to delete the online copy and its comments at once.
• Highlights in five colours. Yellow, green, blue, pink and purple, on Markdown notes, PDFs and ebooks alike. Name a colour for what it means to you — “evidence”, “to check” — and the AI reads it that way when it summarises or reviews your highlights. In a Markdown file yellow stays ==; the other colours are written as ordinary <mark> tags, so the file still opens anywhere.

Known rough edges​

• Markdown only. PDFs, ebooks and Word files cannot be sent for review yet.
• It needs an account. A free one is enough, with one open review at a time; paid plans can have ten. This is the one feature that keeps a copy of a document on our servers — what is stored and for how long.

Where to start​

Request review shows what both sides see; requesting review walks through it step by step. Already using MindMax: the update will offer itself — accept it and restart.

MindMax 是一款面向知识工作的桌面工作空间，支持 macOS 和 Windows。打开一个你现有的文件夹——PDF、电子书、Word、笔记——AI 就在里面陪你读、想、写。每个回答都引用出处那一页；它对你文字的每一处修改，都要等你点接受才算数。

做它，是因为程序员几十年前就有了一个干活的「家」，而我们这些和文档打交道的人，到今天还在五个窗口加一个聊天标签页之间来回倒腾。

MindMax v1.2.0 is one change more than anything else: AI writing was rebuilt so that the document you are writing is also where you steer it. The old writing flow is gone; everything below replaces it.

What is in it​

• The plan is in the document. Starting a piece puts a writing brief at the top of the document — the task, who it is for, what they should agree with, the angle, the voice, the sources — and a card under every heading with that section's point and the passage it rests on. Change a line and that is what gets written. Before, the plan lived in a separate view you approved once and then lost sight of.
• An outline first, unless you say otherwise. A new piece stops at the plan so you can argue with it, then Write it all drafts it section by section. Say “just write it” and it goes straight through.
• Where only you know the facts, it asks. Your results, your figures, what happened on the project: missing from your material, they become a card at that spot asking for them — answer it, @ a file, let it write around the gap, or write it yourself. A public fact it could not find is marked to verify.
• A read-through at the end. Section three cannot see section seven while it is written, so the whole draft is read once when it is done. What changed is listed with the reason, and each change can be undone on its own.
• Write one section. With the cursor under a heading, ⌘J writes just that section from its card. Section cards stay above the text, folded, so you can rewrite a section later from the same plan.
• Genres, and your own. Pick what you are writing — report, proposal, thesis chapter, column and more — and the structure, voice and citation style follow. Your own genres sit in the same menu, built from how you describe your writing or from pieces you have already written.
• Write like an example. Name a piece to write like, and it takes the shape and voice from it while every fact comes from the material you give for the new topic. How it works.
• Knowledge base is now “workspace”. The folder you open is called a workspace across the app, the docs and the site. Nothing about your files changes.
• Smaller things. Edit a note's title in place at the top of the editor, cleaner code blocks and tooltips, and footnotes that open in the same preview as citations.

Known rough edges​

• Long pieces take a while. Sections are written one after another, with the read-through after. A long piece can take many minutes; you can keep working in other files meanwhile.
• Unsigned installers outside the Microsoft Store still need the one-time step in the installation guide.

想让 AI 写出你的风格，就给它看一篇这么写的文章，而不是描述这种风格。点名一两篇写得对路的文章，说清学它什么——整体写法，还是只学语气——再给新主题配上它自己的材料。写顺了，把这种写法存下来，以后不用每次再贴范文。

大多数人一开始反着来：在提示词里写一段形容词。这正是为什么那么多「照我的语气写」的稿子，读起来还是和别的 AI 稿子一个味道。
