## What it is
Markmap is a TypeScript library that renders Markdown documents as interactive mindmaps. It includes a web REPL and integrates with editors like VSCode, Vim, and Emacs via companion plugins.

## Use cases
- visualize markdown notes as a mindmap
- turn markdown headings into an interactive tree diagram
- build mindmaps from plain text
- embed a markdown mindmap viewer in a web app
- outline complex documents visually

## When to choose
- your content is already in Markdown and you want a hierarchical visual overview
- you want editor integration (VSCode, Vim, Emacs) for live mindmap previews
- you need an embeddable, interactive mindmap renderer for the web

## When to avoid
- you need free-form hand-drawn mindmaps not tied to a text hierarchy
- you need diagram types beyond tree/mindmap structures like flowcharts or UML
- you need offline desktop mindmapping with drag-and-drop editing
