This looks hella cool. Let me ask you - could you use this (or the sister project I see, Yurt) to upload a novel, or some large block of text and follow that around. Eg... take Moby Dick from gutenberg and follow each paragraph around?

Yes, you could!

I tried doing this with Yurt to deploy the first chapter of Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan: https://themediumisthemessage.nicholaschen.io/posts/about.tx...

The main challenges are chunking the text so that the paragraphs actually encapsulate a concrete idea, so that the connections between them are valuable.
