Different size bubbles in the graph view

[irakli]

I love the graph view feature, that’s the major reason why I started migrating from Notion.
I have one feature to request: customizable design for graph view.
For example, I would like to see the root page as largest node. Then nodes should get smaller as they go further away from the start, so it’s easier to visualize and use the graph.

Also, is there a way to set a default page link view? So that I do not change pages to medium sized card view every time I create one? Other default design setters would be cool too.

Would the following three requests give you what you need to make this work?

Increase node size in graph view based on the amount of incoming links (eg like Obsidian)

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND I think the graph view could easily be made a bit more accessible by increasing the node size for a Object with many links*. This is something that every user of Obsidian, Logseq, RoamResearch, etc. is already used to: Notes that have more (incoming) links/mentions in the knowledge base are shown enlarged in the graph view. Given an output size, like the current one, for unlinked objects. ( A | B | C ) If now other objects reference this one object (B → A ← C) it (A) sho…

Ability to Resize a Graph Node

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. An option to resize a node in the graph view to provide emphasis to it which would help in better presentation of the graph view in a screenshot Describe the solution you’d like Two toggles to increase and decrease the size of a node when clicked Additional context Currently objects with more relations are displayed at a larger size and it makes sense for most cases. But it would make sense to display a node bigger when the pres…

More card preview display options and Presets of card display

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Bookmarks have specific card preview display options to view source relation (aka the external link) and allow user to access the link with a click. It would be great to have this option for other object type as well, e.g. course object for online training video with its link. In addition to expanding bookmark card preview to other object type, it would be great if we have more display options to choose from, including choices for relations (e.g. authors for book, clients…

Interesting.

The first one is the opposite of what i was thinking of, but i see their point as well. They are asking for bigger nodes sizes for those that have more incoming links, and I want the opposite - big for outgoings. Both have their use cases, so I guess that could be customized in preference settings. Manually adjusting option would be interesting too, but I think it will make things a bit more complicated than what’s needed.

Thanks for the reply.
Any idea how often and fast feature requests are taken into consideration, implemented and released?

Any idea how often and fast feature requests are taken into consideration, implemented and released?

From general understanding as a fellow user, there are different factors contributions:

• Numbers of votes for a feature request, see information about voting on forum
• Impact to the basic structure of the software (also irreversibility)
• Functions as part of major frameworks, e.g. last big update was about self-hosting and translation; feature related to templates will be updated in template update.

About graph view improvement, May update - the inspiration part, shows the team’s exploration of graph view’s potentials.

While I think it could be argued that many outgoing links should also increase the size of a graph node, I’m not sure what you mean by root page? A predefined homepage?

I think my feature request boils down to bring some more visual structure to the graph view than currently available. More customisation options would also be great. But I just suggested what I was used to from other graph based pkm tools. It’s not just obsidian. As far as I know Logseq and Roam Research have the same approach within their graph views.
