Applications for generating Mental Model Diagrams

Javascript mmd generator

Created by Indi

Javascript mmd generator ( new version): I have created this simple browser-based interface that takes your spreadsheet of properly formatted work and turns it into a mental model. You can export it as an SVG file to load into a drawing tool like illustrator, etc.

See the documentation for how to use this app

You can download the data tables from the following projects to test or practice using the app
