1. Let the user "lock" the position of a node
1. Let the user "lock" the position of a node☜Allowing the user to fix a node (an idea) in a certain place on the screen may help stabilize the navigation: if this navigation makes you leave this node for a while, then when you return, you will be happy to recognize that its still at the same place as before.☜9FDEF6
↳
2. Let the user control the collapse and expansion of nodes
2. Let the user control the collapse and expansion of nodes☜Instead of always switching from a node (with its parent and children) to another node (with its own parent and children), allow the user to sometimes put more content on his screen. In other words, expand a node without leaving the node you were looking at.☜9FDEF6
↳
3. Node to node switching could remain the default behaviour
3. Node to node switching could remain the default behaviour☜Allow the user to fly from an idea to another, a bit like a butterfly who jumps from a flower to the next flower: when you click on a node, the default behaviour makes you switch to that node.☜9FDEF6

4. But a "Ctrl-Click" could just expand-collapse the clicked node
4. But a "Ctrl-Click" could just expand-collapse the clicked node☜Optionally, the user could keep unchanged the nodes that were already on the screen and only toggle the status of the clicked node (status = collapsed or expanded)☜9FDEF6

5. User could also be given the option of hiding some nodes from view
5. User could also be given the option of hiding some nodes from view☜Without affecting the structure of the underlying network, the user could hide some of the nodes that s/he finds not relevant to the current trail. Such a feature would reinforce the users feeling of control and stability (as opposed to a feeling of disorder and confusion)☜9FDEF6

Limitations of the Bubble focus view
Limitations of the Bubble focus view☜The debategraph construct in outliner mode is fantastic. But the network view is very confusing because it is visually disruptive. ☜FFB597

Allow emphasis in the (short or long) description of a node
Allow emphasis in the (short or long) description of a node☜Make it possible to highlight a word or an expression in the description of a node. Example: look at the children of #92528, where I used asterisks to highlight some words in the descriptions. Emphasis could be italics, bold, whatever. Italics or bold seems better than change in background color.☜59C6EF

Possibility to change branches colors
Possibility to change branches colors☜The use of colors would permit to improve the experience of DebateGraph and make clearer the supportive and opposing arguments into the exporer view☜59C6EF

The possibility to add symbols or images in explorer view
The possibility to add symbols or images in explorer view☜Symbols or images permit to transmit rapidly concepts or ideas ☜59C6EF
