HTML5 goodness

Stores mind maps in LocalStorage
FileReader API reads stored mind maps from the hard drive
Canvas API draws the mind map

Host yourself

All you need is a web server for static files. Copy all files from /bin into your web directory and launch the app with index.html. Make sure your web server serves .appcache files with the mime type text/cache-manifest for the application to be accessible offline.

In Apache add the following line to your .htaccess:

AddType text/cache-manifest .appcache

In nginx add this to conf/mime.types:

text/cache-manifest appcache;

Alternatively, you can launch a local debug server with npm start which starts a server on localhost:8080.

Development notes

Although the application runs fine if you launch /src/index.html, be aware that this is just the DEBUG mode for development. In debug mode quite a lot of output is sent to the console, ApplicationCache is deactivated and all script files are served individually and uncompressed.
