Mindmap

Mindmap softwares are great to organize ideas.

Minder from Trevor Williams combine everything I need/like:

• Open source
• Desktop client (not web app)
• Multiples files open in tabs
• Easy to use with keyboard (Tab, Enter, e, t …)
• Several themes/layout (Automatic, left, right, manual etc..)
• Customize style, borders, shapes etc..
• Infinite workspace
• Auto save
• Middle click move
• Zoom
• Icon (stickers) / Images
• Group several components (Node group)
• Extra arrow to link 2 separate components
• Task completed status
• Import and export in multiple formats (Including SVG, Mermaid, Markdown etc)
• Xml format (change tracking with git )

Install

There is a Debian/Ubuntu package we can install with apt-get install but this one is outdated, so better to install it another way like:

sudo apt install meson valac libmarkdown2-dev libgee-0.8-dev libgranite-dev libarchive-dev libgtksourceview-3.0-dev
git clone https://github.com/phase1geo/Minder.git
cd Minder
sudo ./app install
