Easily manage your projects - create ideation mind maps, Gantt charts, todo lists, and more!

Ideation

Hugo Blox supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.

Simply insert a Markdown code block labelled as markmap and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.

Mindmaps can be created by simply writing the items as a Markdown list within the markmap code block, indenting each item to create as many sub-levels as you need:


```markmap {height="200px"}
- Hugo Modules
  - Hugo Blox
  - netlify
  - netlify-cms
  - slides
```

renders as

- Hugo Modules
  - Hugo Blox
  - netlify
  - netlify-cms
  - slides

Diagrams

Hugo Blox supports the Mermaid Markdown extension for diagrams.

An example Gantt diagram:

```mermaid
gantt
section Section
Completed :done,    des1, 2014-01-06,2014-01-08
Active        :active,  des2, 2014-01-07, 3d
Parallel 1   :         des3, after des1, 1d
Parallel 2   :         des4, after des1, 1d
Parallel 3   :         des5, after des3, 1d
Parallel 4   :         des6, after des4, 1d
```

renders as

gantt section Section Completed :done, des1, 2014-01-06,2014-01-08 Active :active, des2, 2014-01-07, 3d Parallel 1 : des3, after des1, 1d Parallel 2 : des4, after des1, 1d Parallel 3 : des5, after des3, 1d Parallel 4 : des6, after des4, 1d

Todo lists

You can even write your todo lists in Markdown too:

- [x] Write math example
  - [x] Write diagram example
- [ ] Do something else

renders as

  • Write math example
    • Write diagram example
  • Do something else

Authors
I graduated as a Biotechnology Engineer from the University of Chile, where I also completed my Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology. Enriched by my research experiences abroad at UC Davis and Ghent University , I moved to California to pursue fundamental biological questions, joining UC Riverside as a Postdoctoral Researcher in 2016. Later, I advanced to an Assistant Project Scientist role, and in 2024, I joined the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My research is focused on coordinate cellular pattern formation and hormone signaling. Specifically, I utilize genetics, advanced microscopy, and quantitative image analysis to decipher how cells communicate and organize, with findings published in Nature Communications, Cell, and other top journals. Deeply committed to evidence-based education, I hold a CIRTL Associate Teaching Certificate and actively mentor undergraduate and graduate students.
