Ooo, just had a great idea for how to make 3d graph layout easier for flowchart-like constructs.
Basically, what if you use a regular format like graphviz for your usual 2d layout stuff. But then if you place something in a subgraph it goes on a different `z` layer. Such that you can have a bunch of layers but can still have that flowchart arrangement. E.g. you could link up and down between two layers and the nodes would be placed close together.
@quinn OMG IT ALL COMES BACK TO XANADU!
If I had a penny for every time people conclude "Oh it's just xanadu again" during conversations.....
@mauve everything is intertwingled
@quinn I haven't seen this aspect before actually, thank you. 🤯 This was spot on.
I think I want to do something similar with the #ar version of @agregore is finally a thing.
Browsing the web and having a trail of UIs going back from the browser window. Clicking on links which attach a whole interactive 3D object.
All loaded from p2p mesh networks of course. 💜💜💜
