Black Hole Graph
Your vault as a black hole: every folder is an orbit in the accretion disc, every note a star. Eight looks: Gargantua, Quasar, Interstellar, Polarized, Maelstrom, Galaxy, Eclipse and Binary.

Turns your Obsidian graph view into a black hole. Every top-level folder becomes an orbit in the accretion disc; every note becomes a star in that orbit. Notes that link to each other are pulled visually closer within the disc.
Pan and zoom the scene, click a folder's orbit to focus on it, and click any star to open its note.
Looks
The plugin ships with eight visual modes you can switch between from the toolbar, each restyling the same underlying data:
Gargantua
The warped, lensed ring look of the black hole from Interstellar.
Quasar
A bright, energetic core with jets.
Interstellar
A softer, more naturalistic version of Gargantua.
Polarized
A high-contrast, sharply banded disc.
Maelstrom
A swirling, turbulent disc with heavy motion.
Galaxy
A spiral-armed galaxy instead of a single hole.
Eclipse
A silvery, backlit ring.
Binary
Two black holes orbiting each other.
