Hi y’all. I built BloomMD, an Obsidian plugin that turns a note or folder you already have into an editable mind map, while your .md files stay the source of truth.
What it does
- Your headings become the map:
#is the root,##its children, the text under each heading is that node’s content. - Structure edits write back into the note — rename, add a sibling/child, delete or reparent a branch, and BloomMD rewrites the same file through Obsidian’s Vault API.
Visualize current foldermaps a whole folder onto one canvas, so project structure is visible across files.[[wiki links]], external links and linked mentions show up as edges you can open from the inspector.- Layout (node positions, collapsed branches) lives in the plugin’s own
data.json— your Markdown doesn’t accumulate layout metadata.
Why it’s different from Canvas: there’s no proprietary JSON blob to merge-conflict. The map is a projection of your Markdown, not a separate format so it diffs and syncs cleanly.
Honest status: public desktop beta (desktop-only until touch is tested on real iOS/Android). It writes to the note you’re viewing and adds one invisible HTML comment per heading for stable IDs (## Goal <!-- bloommd:id=a1b2c3 -->); try it on a copy first in a sensitive vault. It never uploads vault contents.

Feedback very welcome as this is a new tool especially on the write-back behavior.
