The visible mind mapping loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. MindNode earns its keep through interaction polish, collaboration, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

The Build Prompt

ready to paste · 1,607 chars
Create a highly polished, visually appealing mind mapping and outlining tool inspired by MindNode, optimized for a seamless native-like desktop experience.
Key Features to Include:
1. Tech Stack: Electron or Tauri with React and TypeScript, leveraging a robust drawing engine (like Excalidraw or custom Canvas API) and local file-system storage.
2. Dual View (Canvas & Outline): Implement an infinite canvas for visual mind mapping and a synchronized, linear, hierarchical outline view. Changes in one view must instantly reflect in the other.
3. Focus Mode: Add a specialized view that highlights a single branch while dimming the rest of the map, aiding concentration on complex projects.
4. Visual Tags & Stickers: Build a system for categorizing nodes with visual tags and include a library of vector stickers/icons that adapt to the current theme. 
5. AI Brainstorming Integration: Provide an optional AI integration (using an API key) to expand on ideas, suggest child nodes, or summarize lengthy text nodes.
6. Actionable Tasks: Allow nodes to be converted into checkboxes/tasks. Add a central panel to view all pending tasks across the current map.
7. Quick Entry & Keyboard Shortcuts: Support extensive keyboard navigation (arrows to navigate, tab to add child, enter to add sibling) for frictionless capturing of ideas.
8. Theming & Styling: Offer multiple built-in color themes, automatic branch coloring, and customizable node shapes.
Focus heavily on UI polish, smooth animations, and accessibility. Exclude real-time multiplayer cursors, complex cloud syncing, and enterprise management tools.
