Nice, I have been looking for an easier way to make mind maps that is also easy to diff and edit without special software, thanks for this!
Thank you!
What are the possible use cases here? You just want to have a look at non-editable mind-map version of your notes?
I needed a quick and easy way (text lines) to condense information during the many and super boring meetings. Whene I need to edit the map, I change the text and regenerate the image. Not all "mindmap" recipients have the software to view maps, but everyone can see a PNG image. And above all...I had a lot of fun writing the software :-)
Thanks for your reply. I wouldn't think of other recipients as a factor. Then this tool must be really helpful for you. Cheers!
