Features

  • Click on the bullet point to expand or collapse a node, showing/hiding its forward and backlinks (circular links are filtered out of the hierarchy).
  • Toggle showing forward and back links by clicking the arrow buttons in the top-right
  • Filter results by pathname by typing in the search box
  • Click the dots button to show note content: a single line of text, full text, or nothing (text is editable and lines will save to the note)

Note

  • This plugin requires the Dataview plugin to function, as it uses the Dataview API to extract links and backlinks. Please install it before using this plugin.

Credit

  • Many thanks to Dataview for making it easy and synchronous to parse links and backlinks!
  • This plugin uses libraries including React, react-transition, react-contenteditable, and Tailwind CSS.
  • WorkFlowy's design inspired the look for the plugin.

If you appreciate this plugin, I would love your support for further development!
