Interesting idea of the open mind map. I was wondering if information bubble, while accessible, is the right term. But it suffices in terms of explanation.

Isn’t Wikipedia already the mind map of humanity in a way? Or is your project more from an individual standpoint?

By the by, Obsidian recently added a canvas to mind map notes and nodes. Maybe the code can be helpful for your project.

In a way however it does not provide a two dimensional visual representation of that mind map. I'm sure there are projects to do that but it isn't the default way to access wikipedia.

Yes since the intention remains to extend your own information bubble by ironically providing your information bubble. Many information bubbles would create a global open mind map.

Thank you for the heads up, Node-RED provides - at the moment - all I need to create a mind map.

It’s an interesting proposition for a project! Good luck in your endeavor. As I see it it’s a way to verify your epistemological grounding so to speak.

Thank you, I hope can I post an Show HN one day with a prototype.

The more I play around with the idea, the more I realise how complex the enduser experience would be. Need to define core features and use cases and focus on them.

I would go from Obsidian to a laying out a book. Especially as obsidian allows me to keep notes, mindmaps all organized, around the thing I am writing.
