Markdown to Mind Map

Why map Markdown headings?

Markdown often already contains an outline. A mind map makes that structure spatial, with document sections branching into subsections and supporting details. The task is to preserve relationships while deciding how much text belongs in the overview.

Use it for a document with a clear hierarchy

Project plans, study notes, and structured drafts are good starting points. A document made mostly of long paragraphs may need a summarization step before its branches become useful.

Respect the source hierarchy

1. Use one central topic. Choose the document title or supply a center when the file has several top-level headings.
2. Preserve parent-child relationships. A nested bullet should remain beneath the section it qualifies.
3. Decide what to omit. Code blocks and long quotations can overwhelm an overview unless they serve its purpose.
4. Keep meaningful task states. A completed item and an open item should not become indistinguishable.
5. Retain reference context. Important links or page references belong with the idea they support.

From marked-up outline to visual branches

MyMap reads the text and structure you paste and creates a map you can refine by asking. The website-redesign example groups goals, phases, team, and risks, with further detail nested beneath the project phases.
