Hi all,
I built Clew, a Community Plugin that adds a second, purpose-built graph view on top of your vault. The built-in graph shows everything at once with one fixed look. Clew runs actual graph analytics on top and lets you filter/color/size by what it finds.
What it can tell you that the built-in graph can’t:
- Which notes are bridges between otherwise-separate parts of your vault (betweenness centrality)
- Which notes are prominent, not just well-linked (PageRank)
- Communities of linked notes, and which ones have gone stale or are scattered across mismatched folders
- Notes related by meaning, not links - a local embedding model clusters notes that are about the same thing even with zero links between them
- Orphaned notes, broken links, and isolated clusters, all in one Diagnostics panel. One click to highlight them on the graph
Everything else you’d expect: named reusable filters, colored groups, four layouts (Force/Hierarchical/Radial/Circular), find-path between two notes, focus mode, a timeline replay of vault growth, saved views.
Nothing here touches your notes. It’s all Clew’s own state.
