What if a graph view and text editor were just two ends of a continuous spectrum? You get consistent semantics, intermediate views, and some other benefits by blending structurally-compatible representations. Here's a 'semantic zoom' in @tldraw https://t.co/KXE8UNb476
@OrionReedOne @tldraw This could be a great alternative to the outliner as a notetaking system ... Incidentally, I've also been playing with defining graph models from within the text itself, and linking them together ... https://t.co/4wtgfwMBmc
@OrionReedOne @tldraw Yes! I’ve been mapping company systems in tldraw and my wish is that I can zoom out to company level but also zoom in to specific subsystems inside a node. Tried hacking it with font sizes but the demo here is the dream. (Hey @tana I’d love this in your app too)
@OrionReedOne @tldraw reminds me of my whole fractal blender interface mockup I did where every single aspect of your project is inside nodes, that way it unifies everything under a single canvas instead of mode switching which requires a lot of working memory and exposes unnecessary features https://t.co/ZZWcHdqVBy
@OrionReedOne @tldraw Nice step. A bit more and you might get to this: https://t.co/yYn13uNrke
@dennizor @tldraw Several on my github, no real template, just some techniques I’ve collected over the last months https://t.co/N2RspmYq2c
@OrionReedOne @tldraw would love to expand individual nodes and leave the surrounding ones minimized. this would help a lot with navigation. one of the hardest parts of navigating graph or canvas views is they aren't scannable in expanded card state, nor very useful when nodes are just titles.
@OrionReedOne @tldraw Working on a graph editor with https://t.co/Cnm2ZNuu2o, using drawflow.js at the moment for the canvas but this is such an awesome way of dealing with the abstraction levels
