Introducing TW5-Graph, Tiddlymap's spiritual successor!

@stobot: It would certainly be possible to use TW5-Graph for mindmapping, but it would be better to use a dedicated mind-mapping library connected to TW5-Graph instead of Vis-Network, which is more about arbitrary graph visualization.

Freemind is unfortunately a java program, and can’t be used, but I looked around at some others. Mind-wired seems like it could work maybe. It’s not a very big project, but it’s designed for mind-mapping (hotkeys, rapid graph development, etc…). I’m sure there are probably others.

Would mind-wired be interactive?

This is the only thing I miss inside TiddlyWiki is a good rapid entry mind map to capture ideas. If it could create tiddlers and build relationships between tiddlers it would be fantastic.

When I played with a demo of it, you could manipulate the graph entirely with keyboard commands. Or drag stuff around to set new parents or orders and such. Seems like the kind of thing everyone seems to want, which vis-network isn’t naturally inclined to do.

However, mind-wired seems pretty new, and their demo was broken until I fixed it, so I’m not sure about throwing in with them. if anyone knows any good opensource javascript mind-mapping software (besides js-mind, because I don’t think that handles events), then I’m happy to look at it.

V1.5.0 release

@JanJo: I’ve vastly improved the tiddler modal in fullscreen mode. Now you can basically live inside fullscreen mode.

  • You can edit tiddlers, access all the viewTemplate and editTemplate buttons (like the info panel).
  • You can navigate to other tiddlers. The modal uses its own story river, and it even has a nice breadcrumb along the top so you can navigate backward.
  • Clicking outside the tiddler closes it now.

Let me know if it could still improve somehow.

However, dragging and dropping links onto nodes is imposslbe with Vis-Network. The library just doesn’t provide a mechanism to allow that.

For proper mindmapping, which it seems like you might be aiming for, TW5-Grraph would need to integrate with an engine which is more suited for it. I floated the idea of Mind-wired above, but I’m happy to look into any library you or anyone else proposes.

Hi @Flibbles . Thank you very much! This sounds awesome:

I am a little shy to admit that I did not find out how that works. Is there a demo or a tutorial in you wiki? Is it done by modifying the modal?

I do not know, whether I had tomatoes on my eyes…(as you say in german for whether I was blind) now I see the controls and the breadcrumbs, :crazy_face: :tada:

I just stumbled on this site posted in hackernews . (Sorry for all the typos in the first version of this post - I was on a train and did not want to loose it)
This is the closest to my imagination how a knowledge graph that can be used for presentations should look like. TW5 Graph is the tool that comes closest to this in TW so far but there are some features visible here that I can achieve in it yet.
The nodes can be displayed in different states there. Could a sort of cardview be achieved?
