Fantastic launch. It's intuitive, responsive, interactive, understandable, and cross-platform. Thank you.

I'm a longtime user of a piece of Mac software called Tinderbox which I've used use to create mind-maps (linked knowledge trees) and Text2MindMap compares very favorably in that its directness and intuitive workflow allows for immediate and direct visualization.

There's also something about the animation implemented here that for me seems to stimulate my thinking as I add nodes.

Really good stuff here.

Kudos to you for so polished a product.

Good luck.

This looks very cool, thank you! I have an issue, though: Can't open the File and Mind Map menus, neither on Firefox nor Chromium nor Opera.

Looks neat!

Tried 1+ top level nodes and it automatically marked them as a child of first one. Not sure if this is broken or is a feature tho, just wanted to comment.

I can't open them as well.

Looks like this could be useful for rdf/linked-data. Maybe for json-ld too.

Whoops, that should be fixed now, as soon as GitHub Pages updates.

Really cool tool, thanks! Maybe you could add bold text as well? Just a thought!

Very nice. But are the "File" and "MindMap" menu items supposed to do something? (like export the file). On both Safari and Chrome they don't seem to have any behavior.
