It would be great to know if Something like infinite canvas / visual graph / whiteboard functionality is on the cards.
I use Tana daily and love it, slowly building a system for everything I do, work...
Thanks for sharing this Federico. You've inspired me to have a play around with Heptabase, alongside Tana, at least until better more integrated options are possible. If you were able to share more about your Heptabase/Tana workflow, I'd be interested to see.
"I would very much like to be able to easily visualize my Tana knowledge graph, and, ideally, interact with (portions of it) through such a visualization. The sorts of interactions I'd like to be able to do include exploring, querying and modifying.
Is Tana planning to add functionality for this sort of visualization, let's say in the next 6 months, or would I need to be exploring other options?
I'd want those other options to be ones that would play nicely with Tana, enabling me to export data from Tana to the visualization software, and, ideally, to then put a modified visualization (perhaps with new information nodes and connections) back into Tana, with the minimum of manual fuss.
What other options and workarounds have people found useful? Neo4j looks interesting, with a strong focus on relationships (as well as nodes), but I'd be interested to hear others' experience.
FWIW, I am now exploring Heptabase, finding it very useful, and beginning to work out how I can use it alongside (back, and forth, more manually than I would like) Tana.
You don't have permission to do this.
You're going a bit too fast! Take a break and try again in a moment.

I'm also in Tana Slack if that's helpful and recently (Sept 2025) posed this question https://tanacommunity.slack.com/archives/C02DAKDSVQA/p1757061775473839

Here, FYI, is what Perplexity helpfully said: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-does-xmind-ai-do-and-what-Q1qGN12nSraAFkjOtEli.g#6 (Tana stuff is at the end of the thread)"
