1/6 I spent some time today exploring visual treatments for our graph view in Thunk. @observablehq is ridiculously fun for this. I'm a total novice, but it's fun to explore different ways a network graph can look. This is how our graph looks now.

2/6 I found this gorgeous network image on pinterest and wanted to see if I could get a similar look in @d3js_org.
3/6 I was able to get something pretty close. With a little more refinement this could be an interesting graph view.

4/6 I wanted to see if I could get it to read a little more like a tree of knowledge from your digital garden. This one was fun to make. #digitalgardening

5/6 This was another digital gardening attempt.

6/6 There was something kind of satisfying about using the subtle white background to emphasize the connected clusters. observablehq.com/@nalband/visua…

1/? At thunkjournal.com we have an aspirational value I'm trying to get better at. We call it Share & Show. I have to thank @lightfiend for inspiring me to see the power of this. I've gotten much better at this in our internal Slack, but I still suck at doing it in public.
2/? I'm going to create this thread and update it over time with links to other threads. Each link I share here will be a public record of my work on some problem we're trying to solve at Thunk.
3/? I'm hoping this will have 3 main benefits.

1. I'll create personal accountability to Share & Show.

2. Creators will be able to learn from our challenges, decisions, successes, and failures.

3. I'll attract customers that have the problems we are trying to solve.

1/? I'm trying to come up with a good way to display notes with large titles for the graph view we're building. The graph view shows you connections you've made between your notes. The purpose of this view is to help you discover patterns in your thinking and create new ideas.
Here's how the first version of our graph view looks in Thunk with and without titles. You can probably already see the problem here. More on this later. :)
2/? I want to support longer titles because of a discussion on @ness_labs about making the titles of your notes full sentences. In the discussion @marco_giancotti and @thoresson mentioned @andy_matuschak's concept about using full sentences as the title of your notes.
