Interesting - though it probably just soft of devolves to using hot keys (hopefully those exist) to jump between files after a few editors are open. Panning around with even half a dozen files open would get tedious.
Why can't this be an extension? I love the idea and can perfectly imagine this inside a tab of the editor area. This would allow for multiple haystack tabs as well, so switching contexts would be seven easier. Having to install another IDE (even if it is based on vscode) is a bit of a bummer for me. None the less, keep it up!
I have nothing intelligent to say, just that I somehow love this idea very much. Somehow visualizing complexity of any kind, helping understanding and refactoring it, is what I constantly have in the back of my mind. Probably a dream of my subconsciousness that is looking for a solution for the complexity (mainly) at my work life.
Whenever you have this feeling of looking for a solution in your daily life, you may just have a startup idea on your hands!
Looks like it might also work for writing a book with lots of chapter/source files. Will give it a go.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does tldraw work for you? We use Pixi JS, which comes with graphics as well.
Ooh I see PixiJs can make content available to the screenreader for a11y. That’s always a big question mark for me when people start cramming a content tree into a canvas.
Looks interesting, but the license is a show-stopper for me. I can't expose my employer to that kind of risk. I poured a lot of time and effort into learning Akka and has to throw it all away.
