#My Mind Map of Knowledge 📚 + Alfred Workflow 🎩 + Index 🗄️ ####(the above link is clickable and leads to an interactive mindmap) (p.s. underlined nodes are hyperlinks and lead to other mindmaps) (will need to wait a bit for it to load 😞) (but when it does, enjoy 😀) (you can also search through the index for what you want with my Alfred workflow to instantly open the mind map you need wherever you are)

Here is an article I wrote on why I made this and what the future of this project is. In short, mind maps are an incredibly effective way to make the connections between different areas in whatever I am trying to researh and learn. I just want to share this knowledge. I also use Anki to retain it all in memory.

And here is a talk I really love on what research really means and how you can conduct it efficiently. Transcript of it.

##MindMap Key 🔑

##My Personal Articles 📖 I also love writing. I find the act of writing really enjoyable as I try to condense information in a way that another person can understand.

##My GitHup Repositories 👾

I really love programming, building and sharing the things I have built. I am currently working on a macOS app to track events that I have done. This would solve a big problem of mine as I love data and especially I love collecting data about myself. It would allow me to analyse event frequency and give me prespective over my life. How many movies, series episodes I have seen and when, how many google searches I have done in a week, how many new GitHub repositoies I have created and when. The list goes on and the event triggering can even be automated via IFTTT or similar services. The best of it, is that you are in control of this data and not anyone else. This data about you is already getting collected in masse, it would be nice to see it for yourself and make your own analysis and decisions based on it.

This idea is not limited to a macOS app, I originally wanted to make it as a website and it will eventually have a website front end to it.

If you find this idea interesting, get in touch. It's always better working together.

##Other folders in this repository 📁

I am still thinking how I will try to structure this project well. I want the contents of the mind maps to be indexed by search engines as currently that is not the case. This way of presenting information is still quite new to the web. For now I will export certain mind maps into folders with a respective image and index. I will automate exporting in the future and perhaps one day everything will be exported in this way so there are two options to view the content and I also get the benefit of search engine indexing.

Here are the folders I have currently migrated in this way. The most up-to-date version of the content will always be the big research mind map. All of the folders below can also be found there.

code folder includes interesting mind maps related to programming
pdfs currently contain some past notes I have made before I was introduced to this neat mind map format
- I may add some interesting free of license pdfs to it in the future
personal folder contains my articles and my GitHub repositores in the textual and image format
- once again, the most up-to-date version will always be the live mind map
top folder contains all mind maps that I found to be particularly interesting to transfer in the textual and image format
index folder includes some of the mind maps that I translated from the research mind map to textual index and image

##Contributing 🎉
It is a shame that there is currently no easy way to contribute to this project. However you still can contribute if you like. You can start an issue and specify where you have found a mistake by sending a screenshot of it and specifiying in which mind map you have found it. After all, this is not an offical wiki and I often don't cite sources. These are just my notes and observations. They can be wrong.

I would also appreciate requests for topics or articles that I have not mapped. Any proposal to add some research paper or software that you found really interesting but I don't have is always welcome.

#Ask 💬 If you have some specific questions about this project or about myself, my interests and my personal workflow. I would love to hear them and you can ask them here. You can also view past questions that I have answered.
