What it is

Markmap is an open-source browser tool for mind maps. Enter Markdown and the preview builds a diagram from its heading levels and list items.

Why it is selected

Editing an outline as text is often quicker than moving each node by hand. Markmap places the Markdown source beside the diagram, making the structure easy to check.

Who it suits

Developers, writers, and students organizing technical notes, article outlines, or meeting material.

Useful for

  • Turning notes or article outlines into mind maps
  • Checking relationships between headings and lists

Usage note

In this review, replacing the Markdown in the editor immediately updated the diagram with the new headings and list nodes. The official project also lists interactive HTML and SVG downloads; those features were not tested individually.
