I looked at the repo and demo canvas. Nice work. Especially liked the 3 semantic zoom tiers and the weave/condense features. If you're enabling for less-technical users consider leading with weave and condense vs. edge deletion. Edge deletion is where the model is powerful but my Mom would get stuck there for instance. The idea that removing a wire changes what the model actually sees might not be obvious.
Consider when someone clicks a node, show a sidebar listing (node references)with remove buttons to reframe as 'what does this answer know about me" vs. "edit of the graph".
Love the graph for power users but listing can be the explanation layer.
Thank you for carefully reviewing the repo and demo; this suggestion is very insightful. Currently, the node sidebar already has a context list grouped by material, reference, and dialogue, but it's collapsed by default and doesn't directly exclude content. Your suggestion to "make the list an explanatory layer" perfectly points out the missing element.
I also agree that Weave and Condense are easier for new users to understand than simply removing connections. The diagram can continue to serve as the underlying structure, while the sidebar answers the question more intuitively: "What content will be used in this answer?"
There is no way to delete a highlight, I accidentally deleted the root node trying to remove a highlight, then the undo command wouldn't recall the root node .
very cool ice over all, its earned a spot in my dock for now.
Thank you for your feedback!
There is a way to delete a highlight. On the node side panel, there is a folded highlight section; you can manage your highlights there. Also, on your canvas, top-right ... menu, you can manage your highlights as well.
