mindmaps

mindmaps is a prototype of an HTML5 based mind mapping application. It lets you create neat looking mind maps in the browser.

• Written entirely in JavaScript
• 100% offline capable thanks to ApplicationCache
• Stores mind maps in LocalStorage
• FileReader API reads stored mind maps from the hard drive
• Canvas API draws the mind map

Try it out

The latest stable build is hosted here.

Build

• Run npm run start to launch a local dev server. The app will be hosted at http://localhost:3000.
• Run npm run build to compile the production bundle. The artifacts will be located in ./bin.

Host yourself

All you need is a web server for static files. Copy all files from /bin into your web directory and launch the app with index.html. Make sure your web server serves .appcache files with the mime type text/cache-manifest for the application to be accessible offline.

In Apache add the following line to your .htaccess:

AddType text/cache-manifest .appcache

In nginx add this to conf/mime.types:

text/cache-manifest appcache; 

Alternatively, you can launch a local debug server with npm start which starts a server on localhost:8080.
