A space for connected thinking
Give your ideas a little structure.
Communicate ideas clearly
When an idea has a lot of moving parts, it can be hard to explain how they fit together. A diagram can make those relationships visible. Here are two kinds of diagrams, what they look like, and when to use them.
Open either example in the editor. Try adding or moving a node, or changing a relationship.
Mind map
A mind map starts with one idea and branches into related topics. Use one to explore a problem or turn a rough idea into a plan.
Ontology
An ontology defines the concepts in a subject and how they relate. It gives people a shared vocabulary.
In cooking, a recipe uses ingredients. For one omelette, two eggs, a teaspoon of butter, and a pinch of salt are specific examples of ingredients.
