Hey folks
I find myself structuring out much larger documents these days, and I’d really like to make use of some mindmapping software to do it. I used to use kdissert (now semantik) all the time - I’d map out the idea, then add in details to each node, and export to tex for final adjustments. Really nice workflow imo.
Unfortunately, semantik is getting a bit long in the tooth, and while it builds fine on my arch boxes, its a bit of a mess for Debian. Rather than annoy myself with hunting for or making my own builds of the various packages I’d need just for this, I’m hoping that maybe there are some more regularly maintained options out there.
Any ideas? TIA
Now that looks like a serious contender! Thanks for the link
Mermaid? https://mermaid.js.org/
Kind of the other way around there, starting with markdown to make a mindmap. Not that I haven’t used mermaid (though I’ll be candid, I mostly hate how mermaid renderers work and the layouts can get real funky real quick), but I’m more going the other way around. Start dropping stuff into a map, then sort it out after. For concepting things out, I like a GUI better. For documenting something existing, mermaid is a perfect decent option.
This one feels more geared for developers, but it works just fine. Used it a couple times: https://github.com/phase1geo/Minder
No conversion to tex, but markdown export is decent (and can then go to pandoc), not a bad option - thanks for sharing
