Exporting KeepNote notebooks as FreeMind mind maps.
I heavily use KeepNote for taking random notes, keeping a daily journal, and managing a research pipeline. I’ve recently discovered the power of mind mapping with FreeMind, an open source mind mapping application. Out of curiosity I wanted to see what my KeepNote notebook looked like as a mind map.
KeepNote has an extension system and an easily navigable object hierarchy. I used the existing export_html extension as a base, adjusting the output to the FreeMind file format. The content of KeepNote notes are added as richcontent notes on the FreeMind nodes. Both KeepNote and FreeMind save notes in XHTML making the translation trivial.
The code is available at https://bitbucket.org/brotchie/export_freemind/overview.
