I agree with the sentiment here, but I couldn't find a way to scale when working with others over async document communication channels. However, I did a self experiment and realized using markdown in electronic communication, google docs (even if its not supported) is much better at create a mind map of knowledge than regular text. I don't know why. My current ranking model is:

    1. Is this knowledge for me? Write in a notepad. Upload a screenshot to my personal rambling google doc.
    2. Is this knowledge for a group that includes me? Use markdown text files (READMEs, Google Doc etc.)
    3. Resort to Wiki or a Rich Text Editor.

Why not write markdown for yourself? I find it just supports all the things I did anyways for emphasis, though maybe I just grew up at the right time
I recently discovered this app called MarginNote3. It’s pretty great on creating mind maps and notes together
