While you’re in there, edit the markdown_storage_folder and export_storage_folder keys to point to your notes folder and where you want any exported files (pdf, mindmanager, etc.) to be stored. Edit the configuration file with your API key and secret.

You’ll need an API key from MindMeister, which you can apply for here. I love iThoughtsX, MindNode Pro and Mindjet MindManager for a lot of the local brainstorming I do on my Mac, but I’ve found myself doing a lot of work with MindMeister in a Fluid browser (and on iOS) lately. To use it, save the script from GitHub as mindmeister_store.rb and run it once to initialize the config file at ~/.mindmeister2rb. If there are new changes, it updates the related files accordingly. I run it every 10 minutes in the background, making a quick ping to the API and checking to see if any maps have been updated.

This allows the script to be run as a recurring task using launchd. The script will check the last updated date of the maps and if no changes have been made since the last export, it will ignore them. It has some rudimentary TaskPaper support for maps that contain due dates and priorities, but that part isn’t fully fleshed out yet. Each of the Markdown notes contains a direct link back to the map, and stores additional details in MultiMarkdown metadata format. This is not a 2-way sync, it just gives you local, searchable copies of your work. These can be searched with Spotlight and maintain their original formatting.

It also saves copies of my maps in PDF and Mindjet MindManager formats in a separate export folder. My modified version exports every map in your account to separate Markdown files, intended to be stored in my nvALT folder as plain text files. The original script allowed for selecting and exporting a single map as Markdown. So I modified a project I worked on with Donald Curtis called mindmeister2md to do just that. The one thing I wanted was to be able to search my MindMeister maps and brainstorms as part of my nomal notes setup, meaning nvALT and Spotlight. MindMeister is great for creating mind maps for sharing, collaboration and even presentation (with slideshow functionality), and has import and export functionality for all the other apps I use. I love iThoughtsX, MindNode Pro and Mindjet MindManager for a lot of the local brainstorming I do on my Mac, but I’ve found myself doing a lot of work with MindMeister in a Fluid browser (and on iOS) lately.
