Hi, I need a Mind Map software for building a network of people that I know. Can you suggest me something FOSS please?

I use the Mindmark plug-in for Logseq most of the time. I have used and liked FreeMind in the past.

Likewise the graph view for obsidian (not foss) or foam (extension for vscode/vscodium) . The graph view is perhaps less useful than the traditional mind map (great if you just want to see connections though) but overall these options are much more powerful

This seems realy good, I can expand linking also file and papers. I think that I'll try it. Thanks very much

Dumb question: what’s a mind map? i’ve heard of it, and seen some examples, but still have no real idea what one is for.

FreeMind maybe is what you looking for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeMind Freeplane seems to be an option too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeplane

Thanks, later I'll give a check. I think that freemind pop out on my search but I get so many results that I did not know which was better

To be fair, the only one I used in the past was FreeMind for personal notes. I can't say if it is truly better, just providing you some FOSS software. I also found this one, which I never heard before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vym_(software)
