Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I built noodl because I was frustrated. I've been interviewing a lot recently — learning about frontend frameworks, system design, auth flows — and I had no quick way to organize everything I was picking up.

I looked for a mind mapping tool. But every free one either tried to do too much (project management, Gantt charts, team wikis) or hid basic features behind a paywall. I didn't need a Swiss army knife. I just needed a fast, clean way to branch my thoughts and see the big picture at a glance.

So I built one.

How it works: You write an outline — Tab to branch, Enter to continue. Then flip it into a mind map instantly. Same data, two views. Edit in either one. That's the whole idea.

What makes it different:

🎹 Keyboard-first — Tab, Enter, Space. Your hands never leave the keys. 🤖 AI typeahead — Context-aware suggestions on every node. It understands your map's structure, not just what you typed. 💾 Local-first — Everything lives in your browser's IndexedDB. Works offline. No account needed to start. ☁️ Cloud sync — Opt in with Google sign-in to access notes across devices. Full version history included. 🔒 No tracking — No ads, no analytics, no trackers. Not on the site, not in the app. 📖 Open source — MIT licensed. Built with Next.js 16, React 19, and Supabase.

I'd love to hear what you think. If you've ever wished mind mapping tools would just get out of the way and let you think — give noodl a try.
