User story

As a user, I want to easily navigate to key points in an article so that I can see what other concepts are linked to in an article, and also see what key points (children) are related to the key points in the current article (parent). I also want to simply see what key points (grandchildren) are linked to children articles.

Example

Elaboration

  • Given an article foo with [[ ]]links to articles foobar, bar and barfoo i want to see a concept menu that centers on foo (current article) and when i click on (+) next to foo, it will expand out dynamic indexed all hyperlinks in given article in an equidistant format.
  • (+) will expand out nodes, instead of being indicated by color
  • starburst or "concept map"
  • initially, only 2 levels deep: parent (current article), child (links in article), grandchild (links in children article)
  • if article bar contains links to a and b, then when i expand the foo node out to bar, and click on a (+) sign for bar, I will see a and b as the terminal (leaf) node.
  • Dynamic: If I add a link to the article foo, then the "pie menu" will be autimatically updated
  • call it pie because that is what is is in sims. also, will need to use pi to calculate the distribution of nodes
  • with a large amount of links, may need to do a lighbox kinda thing and fade out bacground when the map is activated, and new nodes may be larger than parent nodes, and may need to fade out / overlap parent nodes.

Ideas

  • different color of nodes?
  • Base it on category instead of links
  • Base it on headers instead of links
  • n nodes, set terminus (leaf) node
  • use with TreeAndMenu syntax
