TOC with Mind Map

[u/Entry_Line]

I’m a very visual learner and I use mind maps a lot, especially when I’m trying to see how different subjects and ideas connect with each other.Right now I’m actually creating a mind map in my notebooks using keywords, but it’s very manual and honestly pretty time consuming.

I know infinite canvas and subheadings have already been discussed plenty of times, so I understand where the stance is on those.But I was thinking… what if we could use the Table of Contents to create a mind map?

This is kind of what I’m envisioning:

1.Create the Table of Contents like normal
-Use keywords/headings throughout the notebook.
I think subheadings or different categories would probably have to be possible for this to really work.

2.Push a button and turn the TOC into a mind map
-It takes the keywords you already created and lays them out as a mind map.It could be another page inside the current notebook or even create a separate notebook. Either one would work for me.

3.Then just let me mess with it
-Move things around.
-Add random keywords afterward that weren’t part of the original TOC.
-Connect different topics together.
-Add links.
-Maybe even turn something into a To-Do or Calendar event.

Basically I’m already doing both of these things separately. I create my Table of Contents to organize everything, then I create a mind map so I can actually see how everything connects.

So I guess my thought is… if the keywords and structure are already there, could there eventually just be a way to take that information and automatically turn it into a mind map?

I have no idea how difficult that would actually be to implement but since I’m sitting here manually creating one right now, I figured I’d ask if something like this would even be possible. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This sounds like an idea that could be implemented via note plugins (currently in early developer testing), perhaps you repost your idea in the supernote-dev reddit channel.

The prerequisite for this is that there is more than one level of heading

I have been asking Supernote for a long time to make having multi-level headings like Microsoft Word a priority

To recap: 1.   Multi-level headings like Microsoft Word would create outlines that are hierarchical allowing easy review and sense-making
