[Rhapso]

Looking at those, I feel like we are approaching the problem entirely wrong.

Even in text, you don't try and look at everything at once, zooming out for a "structure overview" seems useful, but that is not what is happening here, its just imperative code being shoehorned into a DAG and left wherever a user left it instead of organizing itself, which is the whole benefit to graphical programming.

This demo of "unit" at least seems to organize nodes and views of nodes better.

Sort of?

One of the really nice things in Literate Programming

is that one gets a nicely typeset PDF which has a hyperlinked ToC which does serve as a "structure overview": https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview/blob/main/gcodepre...

I agree, some facility for automatic re-organization and adjusting what is shown/readable in terms of hierarchy based on how much or little of the program is being shown would help a lot.
