It doesn't seem to work at all for me. Not sure why, I've checked with Chrome and Firefox on Linux (using i3 tiling window manager). I see the text outline on the left and the white pane on the right, where I assume I should see a mindmap. I see nothing but white in the large right pane, so maybe there's something you're supposed to do to get it to draw the mindmap, but I can't figure out what.

Looks awesome! We're in the process of building a knowledge graph and were looking for a more intuitive way to manage the main hierarchy. Adding node autocomplete would a great way to do that, especially if it could pull in existing children and dump them to text. What's the license?

Can you explain a bit more of your knowledge graph / hierarchy? I've been working on something like this myself.

There was a bug with the styling, that should be fixed now.

A 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.

After using it for half a minute I love it already!!!

One thing I am missing thought is the ability to hide sub-nodes within the mind map.

Thanks for sharing :-)
