Xmind — Text-to-Mind-Map Renderer

Most mind-mapping tools make you drag boxes around a canvas. Xmind flips that: you type a structured outline, and it renders the graph for you.

What it does

Type any indented text structure — each indent level becomes a child node. Hit render and React Flow draws the entire graph, automatically laying out nodes with smooth curved connections.

The result is fully interactive: drag nodes to rearrange, scroll to zoom, pan the canvas. Each level of indentation gets a distinct color so the hierarchy reads at a glance.

Why I built it

I kept reaching for Xmind or Miro for quick idea maps but always ended up fighting the UI instead of thinking. Text-first felt right — the structure is already there in your head, just write it down.

How to use it

Project
  Frontend
    Auth flow
    Dashboard
  Backend
    API routes
    Database

That's all it takes. Tab-indent children, hit render. Export as PNG when done.
