The repo actually wires a familiar workflow — open a Markdown file, prefix with #mindmap, and it becomes a live D3 tree you can edit in-place. Nice touches: theme adaptation by reading Obsidian CSS vars, Bézier connectors, mouse/keyboard interactions and a documented AI suggestion feature (there's even a CLAUDE.md). It isn't a radical idea — similar Obsidian mind-map plugins exist — but the combination of editable nodes, theme awareness and AI hints makes it a practical, well-scoped tool for power note-takers.
