Hey developers!

I wrote an extension for Visual Studio that allows you to create mind maps with nodes linked to code. You can select a piece of code in the editor, press Ctrl+2,Ctrl+2, and it will be added to the mind map as a child node. Then, you can Ctrl+Click that node in the map, and you'll immediately jump to the linked piece of code.

I've always loved copying and pasting related pieces of code to the mind map (I used FreeMind) when I was analyzing a large code base. The only missing thing was the ability to quickly navigate to pieces of code in nodes. Now, it is possible with this extension. Also, it is nice to have hierarchically organized "bookmarks" to code in different parts of a project.

You can get it here: https://codemindmap.com/

Please try it and let me know what you think!
