obsidian's graph view is a flat web of connected dots. this renders your vault as a 3d galaxy you fly through instead.
notes are stars. folders are colors. wikilinks pull stars together into clusters. the busiest note sits at the core as a black hole. orphan notes drift in the outer void.
it's read-only. it just looks at your vault and draws it, never touches your notes.
- stars = notes - bigger star = more links
- color = top-level folder - each folder gets its own hue
- constellations on demand - hover a star and its linked neighbors light up
- black-hole core - the most-connected note anchors the center
- nebula - each folder-cluster gets a soft cloud of haze
- twinkle - stars pulse slowly (recently-edited notes flare brighter)
- search to fly - search a note and the camera flies to it
- freecam - WASD to fly, arrow keys to look, click a star to open the note
