Or Secure-Scuttlebutt, which vehiculates the concept of identity as a first citizen. https://scuttlebutt.nz Here, the social aspects could be useful, like following my friends mind maps etc.

>vehiculates the concept of identity as a first citizen. What the heck does that even mean?

It’s a perfectly cromulent sentence.

This seems to be a tree. How does one make a "graph" out of it. I want to link a single node to multiple other nodes without that node being parent.

For example.

Trump Hillary

Trump Ivanka

Hillary Chelsea

Ivanka Chelsea

Needless to say brilliant work

Landing page says nothing about what (and how) it actually does. I had to watch the youtube video to get a vague idea of what is going on.

I love this, very simple yet power. Bookmarked for future use. Any chance of an offline version?

You can grab it from the official Github page:

https://github.com/TobLoef/text2mindmap

Works perfectly offline. No server necessary :)

Simple and cool!.

A bit of curious - I see your blog is hosted on github. Is this app also hosted in github? How is that achieved?

I would have closed the website after failing to find a description if not for the warning. But the videos are very short and clear, and it'd probably be harder to explain the interface with text.

> the nodes constantly rearranging and floating around Sigh. So there's like three decades of research on interactive graph layout stability. And almost none of it has become available as code. Much of graph layout is like that. Perhaps VR/AR will finally create sufficient incentive to make it more accessible.

Any suggestions on where in the literature to get started if I wanted to play around with different graph layout algorithms?

I'm also interested, writing my own graph editor as a side project.
