Bridge the gap between your visual brainstorming and your structured knowledge base without ever leaving your keyboard

For many Obsidian users, there is a friction point between thinking and writing. Mind mapping is the perfect solution for non-linear thought, but traditional tools force you to constantly switch contexts or wrestle with a mouse, slowing down your flow.

MindMap Builder changes that. It transforms Excalidraw into a rapid, keyboard-driven brainstorming engine that lives 100% inside your Obsidian vault.

In this comprehensive masterclass, I will guide you through the full potential of MindMap Builder Version 3. This is not just a technical walkthrough; it is a deep dive into a complete Visual Thinking Workflow. You will learn how to capture ideas instantly, organize complex structures with the new Folding and Auto-Layout features, and turn your static documents into living, breathing maps.

What you will master in this course:

  • Keyboard Mastery: Learn the hotkeys and navigation shortcuts that allow you to map as fast as you think.

  • The PDF++ Workflow: Turn your reading process into an active knowledge-building session. Highlight text in a PDF and instantly extract it as a linked node in your map.

  • Bi-Directional Fluidity: Break down the walls between text and visuals. Learn to convert Markdown outlines into Mind Maps for review, and export your visual maps back into structured Markdown notes.

  • Advanced Content Integration: Go beyond simple text nodes by embedding live, editable Obsidian documents, YouTube videos, and web pages directly into your canvas.

Whether you are planning a project, studying complex material, or simply organizing your daily thoughts, this course will give you the skills to visualize your Mind.

Join me, and let’s upgrade your Obsidian workflow.
