The graph visualisation itself isn’t much use in my experience.

But being able to tie related notes together, and see at the bottom of one which other notes reference it is interesting.

Even more now that a LLM can take care of the actual tending and pruning.

Ah, I see, sort of like figuring out the boundaries of your knowledge base and seeing if you have missed any connections between concepts? I suppose it might be useful for learning/ideation. I should try something like that — it could be an interesting synthesis/writing exercise to try to connect concepts that are far removed in your own mental model.

Thank you for sharing!

Yeah. And also resurface relevant old notes, ideas, and web clippings I have forgotten. Two recent example[^0][^1].

As well as different takes on or applications for those concepts, same for sources.
