Read your thinking on the graph
Use the graph view to see relationships between notes with room to breathe.
A map, not a cockpit
The graph in mindwtr is for orientation. Nodes are notes and linked items. Edges are the wiki links you made while writing.
Spacing is intentional — wider gaps and a slightly zoomed-out default so clusters read as clusters, not a knot.
When to open it
Open Graph when you feel stuck inside a single note. Seeing neighbors often surfaces the next sentence or the forgotten thread.
It is also useful after a week of dense writing — a quiet audit of what you have been circling.
How to move
Pan and zoom until a region makes sense. Click into a node when you want the prose again. Return to the canvas when the map has done its job.
Trust sparse graphs
A small graph of strong links is healthier than a dense cloud of weak ones. Link when it helps the writing; the map will follow.
Weekly review on the map
Once a week, open Graph before you open a blank page:
- Notice which clusters grew.
- Click into one neglected neighbor.
- Write the next sentence on today or in a freeform note.
That ten-minute pass often surfaces unfinished decisions faster than scrolling a long archive.
What the graph is not
It is not a productivity score, a social feed, or a place to polish. Orientation first — then return to prose.
