Yes, I have seen several adjacent approaches. Microsoft Huabu explores spatial interaction around research materials, while LLM Canvas and tldraw’s branching-chat experiments explore visual conversation trees.
Many workflow canvases also use nodes and edges, but they usually represent execution pipelines. The specific interaction I am testing is more narrowly about context: an edge changes what the model receives, while removing it keeps the earlier work visible but excludes it from the next inference.
I would be interested in other projects I may have missed.
replyIt would be wonderful if you included a section like "ThoughtDAG vs X" in the README, where you then compare ThoughtDAG against these other approaches/tools, and explain with some clear concise words how it's different than those. For extra bonus-points, also explicitly list where ThoughtDAG falls short (today?) and compare to them in that manner too :)
