Frequently Asked Questions
What is mind mapping?
Mind mapping is a visual thinking tool that uses a radial diagram structure with a central idea branching out into related concepts. It mimics how the brain naturally makes connections between ideas.
Can I save my mind map?
Currently, mind maps cannot be saved between sessions. Export as PNG for a static image or SVG for a vector file that can be edited in graphics software.
How many nodes can I add?
There is no strict limit, but very large mind maps with hundreds of nodes may become difficult to navigate. Consider creating multiple connected maps for extensive projects.
Can I change node colors?
The current version uses a consistent color scheme optimized for clarity. Future updates may include color customization options for organizing different branches.
Is my mind map data private?
Absolutely! All mind mapping happens locally in your browser. Your ideas and concepts are never sent to or stored on any server.
