Idea: Layer abstraction

[beejei]

Hi,

I used to use https://dynalist.io/(which is similar with https://workflowy.com/) for quick memo.
This tool supports instant indent and move(reorder) of each row so that easily reorganized thing written down.

One really cool part is, "Zooming in" into one topic. So if I write down many things with hierarchy and I need to write deeper look for just one topic out of it, Then I can zoom that line then it become a global and everything else gets hided.

I'd love to take this idea into flowchart.fun. So if I arrive to a step, and if there is many detail within, then (optionally) instantly the view switched into "embedded" flowchart - lower layer - and we'll have an another tour. And if I got to any final step then I come back to prior step and keep going.

The idea behind is, when we present something complicated to the audiences but have not enough time due to any reason, we need to skip over to next topic but if necessary, we need to deep dive into certain topic. Then this would be really powerful to explain and also being on a same page. Regardless how complex it is.

Sorry for sudden rush, but it's 4am here and God gives me many ideas.
Thanks and best regards

@beejei Sorry I didn't reply to this idea. I think it's very interesting and I'm leaving the ticket open so I don't forget it. I see a lot of things like this on the horizon for flowchart.fun- many of them are your suggestions 😄 Thank you!

+1 for nested nodes. Most real-life graphs are compound graphs. CytoscapeJS does support rendering them. But building them is hard. I ended up building my own tool in SvelteJS for this but it would be nice to see this feature in more places.
