That looks great. I find that kind of knowledge graph fascinating to look at — I used to love playing with it, for instance in Roam Research and later Obsidian. But what I missed — and I find most useful for creative work — is the ability to build and manipulate those relationships spatially, building the relationships by laying out and reordering ideas and images, as if I was working with cards, pictures and strings on a corkboard or post-its and markers on a whiteboard.

We think with hands and space as much as with words. This is why I prefer the Heptabase implementation at the moment, even if it does not have a full knowledge graph representation as such — prioritising build and manipulation over dynamic representation — although it has the options to visualise links and backlinks as lines between elements.

I think it's a key aspect of tools for thought, and given the interest this topics has among its users, it would be great to hear what the Tana team thinks about it.
