Root Note Explorer
A visual map of a Nostr conversation.
The idea: plot the conversation as a graph instead of a list. Nodes are notes. Edge nodes are replies.
Layout
• The root note anchors center-right.
• Replies branch left or right. This immediate split provides a low-level signal: orphan or conversation.
• Right of the root: orphans (notes with no replies yet). Newest sit closest to the root.
• Left of the root: notes that became active branches. Branches begin nearer the root; newer activity pushes further left.
Node Color = Event Kind.
Edge color = response speed.
Fast replies show as hot colors. Slow replies cool down. The rhythm of the conversation becomes visible before you read a word.
