Program a mind mapping program in Squeak


This is how I use Squeak to organize thoughts and record ideas. I took
inspiration from Dan's Seven Implementations talk.

I create one project per topic in the topmost World. Within a project world, I
use the top 2/3 top for objects and project thumbnails and the bottom 1/3 for
minimized workspace windows. I also 'duplicate' frequently used menu items
(e.g. 'new morph', 'objects') from World menu to this area. This gives me a
simple and effective workspace to think through ideas one at at time. The
same setup is good enough to present to others, so I no longer have to
prepare slides separately. My image is also small enough to fit in a 512MB
USB flash memory along with Squeak executables, so I no longer have to lug a
computer along with me to be productive.

Hope this helps .. Subbu

If you want to know how to make a project available in a web browser:

1. upload it to a webserver making it accessible under some public
URL (e.g., http://my.domain/path/file.pr)

2. use the Squeakland project launch service (http://
www.squeakland.org/project.jsp) to display it:

http://www.squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://my.domain/path/file.pr

This embeds your project in an HTML page.

This is the same technique as a Java apple but uses the Squeak
plugin, not the Java plugin.

For example on nabble:

or gmane:
