Mindmark

I was working in a new project that had a microservice architecture at TomTom since January. I was enrolled in the Course_ Cloud Native Entrepreneur - Patrick Lee Scott since December. In this course he teaches about cloud native (microservices and devops) and entrepreneurship. I was thinking about solving my problem of better highlighting / note-taking while reading. I enrolled in the Course_ Advanced Distributed System Design - Udi Dahan where I picked up the idea that deciding which things are deployed on the same machine can be decided later Oh and a year I learned CQRS and eventsourcing, mainly from Greg Young’s materials...

I have this value stream for reading. Reading valuestream But the mapping part is always very labor intensive. While reading I create highlights, but most note taking apps are quite limited in the colours. Kindle only allows four, and that’s one of the better ones. Many have only one colour. And even 4 static colours, started becoming too inflexible for me. So I decided to make my own ebook reader app....

Highlight in webpages, structure them and you get a mindmap for free. All without the need to reading! The design is still a quite rudimentary. And it’s got some situations where it has some bugs/glitches. But it’s multi-user, and (mostly) usable! In a web-page, you can create highlights, simply by selecting some text: Then you can drag&drop highlights on top of each other to create a hierarchy. And your mindmap is automatically generated!...
