Show HN: MindMapp – Mind mapping app built by AI in 12 hours

ChopSticksPlz — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 11:15:53 +0000

This is a simple Mind Mapping web based app built with open weight LLMs with focus on using locally deployed models like Devstral Small and Seed OSS.

Created this to get more familliar with AI assisted coding. 99% of code was written by LLM, however thinking, testing and debugging was still mostly done by me.

App is open source, code is on GitHub: https://github.com/cepa/mindmapp

This is a very useful .csv, what is the license? Is it free for personal and commercial use?

Embrace it instead of fighting it. Delegate simple tasks to GPT, I found it useful as an example generator. There are so many niches you can create software for, not necessarily well paid but fun and with new tools like AI you may deliver solutions quicker. That being said, I kinda feel sorry for all these folk who jumped into the IT bandwagon with dreams of making more money without actually having deep tech background. I guess, AI backed tools will reduce need for junior positions significantly very soon.

F**k Teams

Hi, glad you like it. I'm the author of Miniature.io.

To be absolutely honest, I posted a link to the website here as I have never done it previously. Built it years ago, because at the time I found this topic challenging to implement and worth trying. For years the system was online and free to use, serving even 2 million images daily. Free of charge. I didn't know whether I should kill it or spend some more time finally finishing the commercial part. Done the latter over the last couple of months and so here it is, polished a bit with a new rewritten website renderer.

If you were looking for a simmilar projects, or simply interested in the tech behind it, you can have a look at https://github.com/cepa/rabarbar this is the current engine that captures screenshots.
