Text tree view of nodes

[keyserj]

Describe your issue

If I want to scan through all nodes of a type, using the node types filter and looking through the diagram is ok, but seeing relations in this case is not necessary, and so the spread-out nodes doesn't provide extra value and is just distracting. It'd be nice to have a view that's more organized and compressed for reading through a bunch of nodes.

This is particularly nice if I just want to see all the questions, or all the sources and facts, or all the arguments that exist.

Solution you'd like

A tree view seems like it'd be good for this (example from vscode):

• "Tree" format (vs diagram/table)
• Having a tree view branch for the child relations of the node type could be a really convenient way to quickly add facts for sources, but this should probably be done separately to keep scope of this ticket narrow

Questions to answer

• Should the tree view be filtered the same as the diagram is? That seems good and basically free to implement
  • might be excessive. at least should be able to choose which node types to show at the root of the tree
• Can this be built via yml/JSON? Maybe this could be a human-readable way to edit a diagram? Maybe hard though because editing would require node id's in the yml?
  • could build the yml/JSON with id's to be human editable, and just have the tree not show id's
• Could the tree view default to parent->child direction, but flip the other way via toggle? e.g. questions might be better parent->child, but sources seem sometimes better child->parent for adding facts
  • might be better to expand to both parent and child nodes, could distinguish via a symbol
    • would this be doable even if expanding parents/children could lead to infinitely-nested expansion?

Technical ideas

• maybe MUI tree view, but it looks a bit new and have some features that are paid-only
• arborist also looks like a relatively popular tree view component for react
