Original: Why I built a mind-mapping tool where Markdown is the actual file format

Short summary

The author built MindSpark, an open-source mind-mapping tool that uses Markdown as its native file format rather than just an export option. This allows users to edit outlines in a text editor for bulk changes and sync back to a visual diagram. The post is brief and links to the GitHub repository.

  • MindSpark uses Markdown as the actual file format, not just an export
  • Sync between text editor and visual canvas is the core challenge
  • Open-source on GitHub
