Wenodify

Idea Map studio

Overview

What Idea Map is for

Idea Map is Wenodify's graph editor for anything that grows as a tree: a root, children, branches, depth, and collapse. You author once on the canvas; the graphType you pick tells downstream systems how to read each node at export.

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.

Canvas

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.

Preview

Experience preview

Preview simulates how your graph reads at runtime — not just a zoomed canvas, but a device-shaped view:

  • ideas — desktop outline
  • conversation — phone dialog transcript with branch choices
  • chatbot — phone chatbot with back navigation
  • quiz — phone quiz with answer branches
  • steps — step-by-step checklist with prev/next
  • explorer — tablet topic browser with drill-down

Open with ⌘⇧E / Ctrl+Shift+E or the Preview button. Press F inside preview for present mode. See each type in detail on the graph types guide.

Export

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.
