dsh-mindmap

Most mindmapping tools lock your ideas into proprietary binary formats that cannot be diffed, version-controlled, or easily shared in a code-native workflow. dsh-mindmap flips the model: a plain Markdown file is the mindmap. Open it in a session and a floating panel on the right renders the structure in real time; describe an edit in chat and the AI rewrites the .md one step at a time, with the panel re-rendering instantly. There is no hidden layer, no opaque format—every change is a readable text diff you can commit and review.\n\nInteraction treats the chat as the editor and the panel as the canvas. Heading hierarchy, nested lists, code blocks, and paragraph notes map to MindGrove-style nodes with orthogonal connector lines. The canvas supports 25%–300% zoom, drag-to-pan (middle button, left button on blank space, or Space + left button), click-to-focus on any node and its subtree, and an automatic fit-to-view that keeps re-fitting as the AI edits until you zoom manually. A persistent directory tree lets you create or open documents on the fly, a single click exports PNG, and the floating panel pushes the chat aside rather than covering it. On the safety side, the client has no direct filesystem write path—every create or update flows through the AI tools, giving you a clean audit chain when paired with Git.\n\nIt is built for developers already working inside a DeepSeek Harness session who treat Markdown as their source of truth for technical notes, architecture docs, or structured knowledge. One file serves as the draft, the version, and the mindmap—say a sentence, the AI edits a step, and the result is ready to commit.
