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.

#22Very 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.
Yeah sorry about that, it's fixed now.

Same. Tried in Safari and Chrome. Upon inspection, looks like something is going wrong with the styles. Changing .dropdown-content{position:absolute;} to position:fixed; brought them back for me.

#24Simply Great, super neat. Especially that drag around on the nodes. Thank you for sharing.
Re: Show HN: Turn indented text into mind maps
#25A few months ago one of my favorite tools http://www.text2mindmap.com went down and since there doesn't seem to be any plans to bring it back up I created my own version of the site. It's basically just a quick mashup between some of the code from the original site and some code from my Markdown Editor ( https://tobloef.com/markant/ ), but I hope someone will find it as useful as I did.
This looks great and very useful. Thank you!

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Congratulations on shipping! It looks great. What do you normally use this sort of thing for?
Thanks. I use it as I would a normal mind map, to organize ideas and sometimes visualize trees of data. I just find the text-based approach to creating mind maps a lot faster and simpler than using the various other online tools, even though it's a bit more limited.
Like it, might use it as a online alternative to FreeMind, which allows pure keyboard control, so kind of similar, at least from my perspective.

#27Nice. Could you add google login so my students could save their work?
Re: Show HN: Turn indented text into mind maps
#28CTRL-N is apparently a shortcut for new? Nice thought but this runs into standard navigation supported in OS X and most Unixes of using CTRL-N to go down a line. Kind of hard wired for me to navigate text boxes using CTRL-N and CTRL-P so would recommend another shortcut.
Otherwise very neat!

#29Xmind has the outline editing mode that I find very useful for this very reason. Sure it's not just a simple text file but it also doesn't require edit and presentation on different places/apps.

#30Very cool. Might be nice to have standard positions so things are organized by default and don't require additional clicks.
