I think I originally found it on a /. story sometime in 2012 and tried it out as more organised local txt file documentation system.
And I loved the fact that I could write out the 'plan', test it, and then copy/paste into a terminal.
I really started it as I was compiling from source a lot (still do) in those days, and there were always little quirks that had to be worked out on different platforms.
For example the mysql/mysql-compiling.mm mindmap was created to provide copy/paste installations for Percona-mysql on Linux and OSX.
The weekly/daily mindmaps are my primary working space.
I wasn't running Jira at the time, and Freemind is faster anyway.
When writing something new in a daily node, I can then copy it into the appropriate program/program-function.mm
Then I started experimenting with colours and icons and came up with my own system:
- green (F3) for search questions
- red (F4) for bash cmds
- blue (F7) for sql cmds
This is pretty awesome. Thanks for answering my questions, it's been insightful. I've been messing around with Freemind for the past hour and I'm liking this. This has definitely inspired me to experiment with it further.
