# Vertextual: Build directional networks and mindmaps from plain text
## Try it at
Vertextual is a tool for interactively drawing networks and
mindmaps by writing out the nodes and connections in a simple shorthand domain-
specific language (DSL).
---
In Vertextual, you build a network by naming its nodes and their edges
(connections). The first edge always has to be fully defined as
`Origin > Destination` like so:
Daydream > Idea
Each new edge goes on a new line. You can continue writing full definitions for
the rest of the edges, or you can reuse the last `Destination` node as the new
`Origin` by omitting the `Origin` from the new definition:
Daydream > Idea
> Sketch
> Prototype
Is identical to:
Daydream > Idea
Idea > Sketch
Sketch > Prototype
You can also reuse the last `Origin` as the new `Origin` with the operator `^`:
Daydream > Idea
^ Sketch
^ Prototype
Is identical to:
Daydream > Idea
Daydream > Sketch
Daydream > Prototype
You can name connections in any order. Duplicate connections and self-loops will be automatically removed.
