Idea Map — create content visually

What Idea Map is for

Idea Map is Wenodify's mind map and concept map editor: a root, children, branches, depth, and collapse — the same comfort as a classic mind map, with fields that survive export. You author once on the canvas; the graphType you pick tells downstream systems how to read each node.

Open it at /app/idea-map. Pick a graph type before you start — it sets default node names, preview device, export filename, and SQL export profile.

Wekify uses Idea Map to create Kifuliiru content: spoken conversations, quiz questions, lesson steps, and topic explorers. Export is the handoff into Kifuliiru learning and preservation platforms. The same canvas works for any language or subject.

Editing on the canvas

Add and rename nodes

• Double-click the canvas or use Add on a selected node.
• Double-click a label to rename inline.
• Every node has label (title), body (notes), and status (draft, active, archived).

Organize

• Drag nodes to reposition within the layout.
• Collapse subtrees to hide branches while keeping data.
• Search and highlight nodes from the toolbar.
• Toggle vertical layout and auto-layout from the command bar.
• Use Fit (⌘0) when the tree outgrows the viewport.

Inspector

Open the node inspector (ⓘ on a node) for full label, body, and status editing — useful when the body holds longer copy, quiz choices, or conversation replies.

Undo history

Full undo/redo stack (⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z) so you can experiment without fear. History covers node adds, deletes, edits, and layout changes.

Handoff from Idea Map

Exports use wenodify-{graphType}.json or .sql. JSON is full round-trip; SQL includes an export profile comment for loaders. Read the full export guide.
