Mindmap.sh

Project Summary

Mindmap.sh is a collaborative mind-mapping web application that lets users create, edit, and share interactive mind maps. The project includes a frontend built with React and a Node/Express backend with MongoDB for persistence.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, react-router-dom, react-bootstrap
• Backend: Node.js, Express, Mongoose
• File uploads: Multer
• UI libraries: lucide-react, mdb-react-ui-kit

Key Highlights (Recruiter-friendly)

• Built a responsive React UI with reusable components and a custom mind-map visualization.
• Implemented RESTful APIs with Express and data persistence with MongoDB (Mongoose).
• Handled file uploads and user profile data; included authentication-ready patterns.
• Organized project into frontend and backend areas for clear separation of concerns.

Setup & Quick Start

Prerequisites: Node.js (>=18) and npm
