The way an idea is connected — is the idea.
Navigate and modify a noodle knowledge base of linked concepts.
what is that?? I’m not a hacker
Nested Mind-Maps ✨
Create a network of concepts. Then organize mind-maps in a higher level mind-map! Or conversely dive into and elaborate a node.
Interoperable 🧩
Create links between files of any kind! Noodle integrates with your filesystem tree which is already like a mind-map.
Private 🔒
Plaintext metadata and local files means all your noodle data is yours forever.
Libre 🐃
Noodle is GPLv3 open source, hackable, and can be distributed freely!
Motivation
Suppose I want to associate a handful of concepts in a mind-map and then have another mind-map which uses a similar set of concepts. Maybe I’m trying to represent different perspectives on a topic, or a system of ideas at different levels of detail, or relate the same ideas in different contexts. Maybe I’m not sure if a set of concepts should be associated one way or another and I’d like to render and compare those options.
In all these cases I want to be able to share content between mind-maps and avoid redundancy. Hence noodle’s multiplex graph.
