Ask HN: Tool recommendations for graphs instead of tree mindmaps

2 pointsby jbms4 months ago
I like mindmap software for how intuitive it is, but if I want to enter and manipulate data that's a graph rather than a tree I haven't found a tool I like. Any recommendations? If it can handle flow left to right where physical layout has a meaning I would like it even more. Something I can work with low tech people on, where it can scale to hundreds of nodes but I can select only some to display at a time. Thank you.

It&#x27;s not really a mind mapping application but when I need to jot down some complex idea I use yED.<p>You can do all the normal things that flow chart tools can do but it has an amazing suite if auto arrange abilities that are highly customizable.<p>Site: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.yworks.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;yed" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.yworks.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;yed</a><p>Or kick the tires on the web version (less feature rich) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.yworks.com&#x2F;yed-live&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.yworks.com&#x2F;yed-live&#x2F;</a>
