Description
What is a Mindmap
- A mind map can turn a long list of boring information into a colourful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain’s natural way of doing things.
- A mind map is hierarchical and reflects relationships among pieces of the whole.
- Whenever you make notes from books or newspapers, instead of writing paragraphs or bullet points, you can make a mind map for the big-picture analysis and better recall.
- How to make a mind map?
- Step 1: Write the main concept at the centre of the page.
- Step 2: Write sub-topics around the main concept and link them together.
- Step 3: Write the key points under each-subtopics.
- Step 4: Mark relationship (if any) between different points in the mind map.
- Above is the example mind map from our article on the statue of unity issue. Here,
- Statue of unity – the Main concept
- Why in news? Who is Patel? Etc – Sub-topics
- Then the nodes that branch out from sub-topics are key points.

Devam (verified owner) –
Content-wise, the coverage is holistic on most of the topics, and efforts can be seen in designing every topic into a mind map, which is a unique and excellent way to remember and retain things. The only concern is the tech part. The app and the website are sluggish. It takes a considerable amount of time to load each page and the mind map. It may be due to the bulkiness of the app, but it badly needs optimisation or upgradation of the hosting platform. The page transition should be swift, and the mind map should load briskly. Despite top efforts and premier content, the usability is poor. Being an aspirant, I’m always short on time, which makes me switch to a different source each time when it takes such a long time to load.
