Why is this useful?

Mindnode makes it extremely simple to create trees of information. However, if you want to share that map with anyone, they need Mindnode too which is rather Apple device oriented and expensive. Using this tool, you can export your Mindnode tree to JSON. Then you can use D3 to create an interactive tree which users can see in their browsers.

This is what your Mindnode tree will look like in the browser: see example

Usage

You can use the tool from the command line in the following way, which overwrites content of an existing input file and appends the new tree.
