01 / THE QUESTION

What needed to change?

Ideas begin as fragments. A map should make their connections visible without making the workspace harder to use.

02 / MY ROLE

Where I worked.

Independent product concept, interface design and web engineering.

03 / DESIGN DECISIONS

Choices behind the interface.

  1. Keep the canvas focused on the idea a person is working with.
  2. Make branches and notes easy to expand and return to.
  3. Design around local data and a clear export path.
04 / CURRENT RESULT

Where it stands.

A product direction and working interface for local-first mind mapping. The core experience remains in development.

Next stepRefine editing, navigation and the way larger maps remain readable.
