Enter a topic and get a learning mind map generated by an LLM with links to learn more about each subtopic.

You can use it with local models (through Ollama) or external models.

If you have any feedback, please share it! Hope it's useful

Demo: https://youtu.be/Y-9He-tG3aM

I'd say the README should have a pic of the results otherwise I have to install it and run it to see if I want to install it and run it

Also why not host it online and let users bring their own keys?

just updated the readme with the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-9He-tG3aM

I considered that but if I were the user I'd be wary of adding my own keys to a random person's website haha, but now that you mentioned that, since the code it's open-source I guess it's fine, thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for that! You can use something like gifski to turn that video into a gif so that you can embed it into the README. Here's an example from the gifski repo: https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski

You can use the CLI version but they also have executables with a dead simple GUI if you're so inclined. I have only ever used the GUI and it's perfect on a Mac (just drag and drop your video into it). Not sure if it's the exact same on Windows but I imagine it's amazing there too

Nice! Will replace the screenshot with a gif, if that doesn’t work for me I guess ffmpeg may be able do that too, thanks!

FYI your current demo is 25MB. Not sure if you used gifski but usually it's super helpful for making gifs smaller
