> that sometimes, the tree is more like a graph

I agree, but I think it's better to start with a tree, and then add graph-like features, than to start with a graph and try to make a tree out of it. Mostly because I believe hierarchy is a more natural structure for our brains.

For reading non-fiction, yes the parallax can be distracting. But I think A) the interface can be improved. B) For non-fiction, it's outweighed by the benefit of having context & details available.

We do have plans for a distraction free mode, similar to "Zen mode" on Github. But offline & deeper trees are a priority for now.

I have studied Scrivener, but didn't know about Ulysses. Thanks for pointing it out.
