Re: Convert Markdown to a Mind Map

I make an app for macOS that makes it easy to make offline viewers for documents like this ( https://repla.app/ ). Would anyone be interested in having an offline viewer for this? E.g., being able to drag a `mindmap.md` file to the app icon, and have it render the mindmap and automatically update when you make changes in your text editor. (I'm aware there are other ways to do offline views like this, happy to explain…

Yup!

Every time I see something like this, my thought process is:

“Cool, that could be useful for X”

“Hmm X is proprietary. I’m not typing into some random website.”

“Can I run this locally?”

“Nope, not natively. Is it worth my time to hack it?”

Interesting. It would be good to have a more complex example as a guide for how the markdown should be structured.

So far I just think it's headers and lists:

# This

## This branch

### This sub branch

### Another sub branch

## This other

## And another

## One more

### This one has a branch

- one

- more

- thing

### and another branch

- what

- is

- this
