@User @User been lurking here and reading over the antora docs. really like a lot of its design and dendron will probably borrow some elements, especially the playbooks. one of the use cases for dendron is technical documentation. once we have standalone vaults working (make dendron work without a workspace), you can imagine any

/docs

folder being a potential dendron vault that you could use one uber workspace to pull together

Currently for those interested in the Graph view of Dendron, you can find my actual Draft for the Rfc I'm writing here: https://github.com/flammehawk/dendron-site/blob/docs/rfc/vault/dendron.rfc.6-graph-rework.md Some things are still missing a basic construct of what I thought, Others I'm still writing, otherwise I Would already have Made a PR to the site. I'm open to feedback for it.

Great! 💯

A few other options worth taking a peek at for the rendering / frontend layer - cytoscapejs - the visjs network package https://visjs.github.io/vis-network/docs/network/ - what anvaka on GitHub is using for the ngraph family of tools - the alibaba graph renderer

A rendering option where you can apply some repelling force between the nodes would be great. Sometimes my graph overlaps a bit and it's pretty confusing 😄

That would depend on the layout of the graph xD

if we don't mix wikilinks with the tree graph, with enough edge length it should be always be able to be non-overlapping. I think?

Well I don't mind edges overlapping as long as the Nodes don't overlap and for that their are already diffrent force layouts out their.

I made a little graph-based layout debugger app where you can express a hierarchy in a markdown-inspired format (

cstree

), and choose between a few different graph layouts, some of which are force-directed. The difference between this and a pure tree is that I also permit edges between "cousin" nodes, you can use this to mock up what conditions might lead to edges overlapping with nodes or just getting busy in general https://cstree-visual.netlify.app/. the "hello force" has weights that try to help "long" paths pull all their nodes towards the bottom, but the "block" and "cola" forces are a bit more spacious. You can load in your own data file like so: https://cstree-visual.netlify.app/?graphData=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/hydrosquall/751d8a1462e2b57c6ff5258c4f3870aa/raw/c54c1c0f657db3331f0e6f470d831c1b216da795/testHierarchy.txt

thanks for the links. will be looking them over. on an aside, does anyone know if there's a library for generating the github contribution visualization?

It's not an exact match, but I used https://github.com/kevinsqi/react-calendar-heatmap to make thank-you cards for interns using a combo of their github + JIRA data (note it's missing the Y axis label). You get a lot more configurability out of Vega though https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/circle_github_punchcard.html / https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/rect_heatmap_weather.html

hello, Dendron looks great and, for me, the best option along with org-roam...so, curious where can i find some info about the projects mentioned in the docs about the folks trying to bring Dendron to other editors like vim/ST..?

folks have expressed interested in it but so far no concrete projects (that i know of) have been published yet

been playing around with vega visualizations (spent more time than I meant to 😅 )

tying to figure out if people would find them useful. especially as something that might be displayed on a public site

what kind of data are we trying to visualize here? # of commits on their vaults?

num commits

i played around with line changes but the scale is too out of scale (eg. most commits are <100 but refactoring causes +100k lines at certain points)

hmmm yeah might want to weed out the outliers

yep, even after aggressive filtering, its still weird, so probably binning is the way to go

but already spent more time on this then i should so might take a pause for now 😅

my commit granularities change drastically depending on my mood of the day so I usually don't really find other people's commit count stats useful as well haha

(but that's for code, not dendron notes)

yeah, i find its very hard to find an actionable visualization

anyhow, in case you or anyone else wants to play around with this, my changes are in the

dev-kevin

branch

you can create the same graph by running the latest cli with

dendron exportPod  --wsRoot . --podId dendron.gitpunchard --config "dest=/tmp/vega"

coolio.

Haha yes this is the question I ask every day as a dataviz engineer :). Vega is very expressive, glad you had fun playing around with it! One question that people might find interesting is to see when specific branches of their hierarchy have activity, rather than for the whole tree at once. This would be a bit more fiddly to code, but takes things in a similar direction as what git-temporal can do (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bee.git-temporal-vscode). This sort of thing becomes more exciting when you have it as an interactive (e.g. click a punchcard and see what kinds of notes you write at 3 AM etc)

Thanks for sharing the branch, I'll keep this in back of mind!

A playback of a hierarchy graph from start would be... glorious
