Literally, today, was thinking about leveraging $tree for mindmapping when this dropped: Poor mans mind mapping tool with just the terminal [1] having been inspired by h-m-m (hackers mind map) [2]

Went with VimOutliner [3] instead which is one less thing to install and fits so well with a tmux-vim setup.

Now all that is missing a sparse tree mode like OrgMode that beats out tabs and splits [4]
