I love this idea, but it offloads the task of storage to the user. Of the user stores these URLs inefficiently (e.g. twitter), it would create a lot of digital garbage.

One big positive concerns sensitive info. The app wouldn't have to store it.

Surprised I'm not reading many comments about Lombok. We use this with great success and predictability and it removes so much boilerplate. More importantly, it focuses on the boilerplate that is truly boring. The projects look great add a result.

Plain text is the cornerstone of my b brainstorming app at jumproot.com. there are other tools too but it all starts with plain text.

I think TDD is fundamentally appropriate (and a blessing). I see it as generating proofs for claims that your software does X,Y,Z. This is invaluable to me and has given me confidence in rollouts to production.

So it is completely passive? Doesn't qualify as a robot to me but still impressive. I only skimmed the video so I could be wrong.

100% correct. It pains me but restricting to a tree was a compromise I wanted to make. Why? Because visualising a graph in a concise way is difficult. The point of jumproot is to have very broad and deep document structures and visual graphs simply don't allow it (to my standards anyway).

I'm always on the lookout for a widget that allows me to display a large graph in a very dense way. Please let me know if you come across one.

Thank you. I don't mind sharing at all. Please be forgiving and constructive because I am a one man show here.

Tech stack: - This is a django app. MVC. No separate API project and UI project. - Front end is basically Bootstrap 4 and jquery. - The tree is FancyTree - The DB is SQLite because there are no users. When usage becomes significant, I can easily migrate to MySQL. - Rich Text is Summernote.

I am 100% sure I would do this differently now. But I started it a few years ago and have kept it pretty much private. Thanks for checking in!

Thanks for the feedback. To answer your question:

To me, a mind map is a tool with which one can map his/her mind. I see some comments that claim that colourful and interesting graphics should be a part of that definition. I disagree. With such mind mapping tools, I've found that it's that "cartoony" nature that limits their size. I wanted a mind-map tool in which I could store every little piece of minutia that I want and have it organized. I don't need the graphics, have search.

I hope that relays my thinking a bit.
