Hi, I need a Mind Map software for building a network of people that I know. Can you suggest me something FOSS please?
I use the Mindmark plug-in for Logseq most of the time. I have used and liked FreeMind in the past.
Likewise the graph view for obsidian (not foss) or foam (extension for vscode/vscodium) . The graph view is perhaps less useful than the traditional mind map (great if you just want to see connections though) but overall these options are much more powerful
This seems realy good, I can expand linking also file and papers. I think that I’ll try it. Thanks very much
Dumb question: what’s a mind map? i’ve heard of it, and seen some examples, but still have no real idea what one is for.
A visual method of storing information. It’s meant to represent association. Thing a is connected to thing b, and thing b is this and that and so on. It’s a method of organizing information by association.
Instead of like, family trees, in the case of OP it might be like. (Friend a) -> (friend b) i met through friend a -> (friend b’s brother) -> etc. Then additional information is added like (friend b) -> (photographer) and (friend b) -> (big marvel fan).
