Examples

Welcome tourHow Mindstr works Solar systemA colourful overview Plan a projectGoals to launch Learn NostrWith links to the NIPs

Open any map with ?uri= and a link to a .json or .jsonld file. Saved maps live in your own pod.

Link

A web address, a .md note or another map (./other.json)

Add from outline

Paste notes, a Markdown list or headings. Each indented line becomes a child of the line above. It's added under the selected node.

Save your map

Mindstr saves maps to a pod: storage you control on the web, so the map stays yours and you can share a link to it.

Your map is saved in public/mindstr/ in your pod, where anyone with the link can view it. Only you can change it.

Sign in with a Nostr browser extension (such as nos2x or Alby) or with your Solid provider. You only need to paste a key if you know what you're doing.

On a phone, choose the Solid tab and sign in with your Solid provider.
